Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline ready to pump gas to Europe
Russia’s Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline is ready for operation amid an energy crunch in Europe, Alexei Miller, the CEO of Russia’s gas industry giant Gazprom, reported to President Vladimir Putin during a meeting.
Gazprom has completed filling the second string of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline with gas, and both strings with sufficient pressure are fully ready for use, Miller said on Wednesday.
“Now, of course, everything depends on our partners, consumers in Europe. As soon as they agree, large additional volumes of Russian gas will immediately begin to flow to Europe,” Putin said.
