Germany will never abandon the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, no matter what transgressions it believes Russia has committed
This is according to a Bloomberg piece written with reference to sources close to the authorities. Even if Berlin considers the project a geopolitical weapon, it will not shut off the pipe.
In addition, the article reveals that during the meeting of US President Joe Biden with Chancellor Angela Merkel he tried to convince her of the need for tough measures in case of necessity. However, the head of Germany rejected the idea.
If, according to Berlin, there is a need to hit Russia in any way, it will focus on broader sanctions at European Union level. The Germans have no desire to block the lucrative project, despite the loud statements of some politicians.
