Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov assessed the new US sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, announced earlier. His words were published on the page of the embassy in Facebook…
Antonov agrees that dialogue through sanctions is unacceptable and violates international law. “We regard all attempts against Russian oil and gas exports to Europe as unfair competition that undermines the principles of a free market,” he added.
In addition, Russia flatly denies accusations about Russian energy policy. “Such declarations show the disrespect of the United States of America for its own allies, who are ready to build our long-term mutually beneficial cooperation,” the Russian ambassador said. According to him, Russia has proven in practice that it is a reliable partner in the energy sector.
That the USA are planning new sanctions have been introduced against Nord Stream 2, formerly US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. According to him, the restrictions will affect one company and two ships that participated in the construction of the gas pipeline. We are talking about the company with the company Transadria Ltd and the ship “Marlin” owned by it. Blinken did not disclose the name of the other vessel.
