ST. PETERSBURG (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 03rd June, 2021) The completion of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is in the interest of both the European Union and Russia, Klaus Mangold, the chairman of Mangold Consulting GmbH, has said in an interview with Sputnik.
The project, which aims to lay a 745-mile-long offshore twin pipeline that will carry up to 1.9 trillion cubic feet of gas per year from Russia to Germany, is currently at its final stretch, with about 95 percent of it finished.
"It's in the EU's interest, as it is in Russia's interest. We will see that gas will have a growing importance, being delivered from Russia to Europe.
