Bundestag deputy Alexander Lambsdorff has rejected the possibility of putting pressure on Russia by threatening to stop Nord Stream-2 because of Ukraine
According to the MP, diplomatic negotiations are the most appropriate way “to prevent Russia from increasing pressure on its neighbours”.
“The measures that can be taken in case of aggression can also be made clear behind closed doors”, – he said.
The Kremlin has repeatedly rejected accusations of “aggressive actions”, saying it threatens no one and has no intention of attacking anyone, while claims of “aggression” are used by the West as a pretext to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders.
Earlier, State Department spokesman Ned Price said that the situation around Ukraine could be resolved by diplomatic means
