Putin Says Nord Stream 2 Opponents Used To Exclusive Treatment, Permissiveness

ST.PETERSBURG (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th June, 2019) The opponents of the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline are those states that are used to permissiveness and have others pay their bills, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday.

"This [Nord Stream 2 project] does not fit the logic and does not correspond to the interests of those who are used to exclusivity and permissiveness within the existing universal model, those who are used to the fact that others have to pay their bills. This is the reason that the project is endlessly facing obstacles," Putin said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
