Austria against pressure on Moscow over Ukraine – Russian ambassador

Russia’s ambassador to Austria Dmitry Lyubinsky has said that Vienna is against pressure on Moscow through Nord Stream-2

“It is important for Moscow that Austrian authorities oppose the use of the Nord Stream 2 project as a means of putting pressure on Russia in the context of the crisis in Ukraine”, – he said.

Austria expects that the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline will soon be commissioned as planned.

“For my part, I note that so far the Austrian leadership has consistently supported the implementation of Nord Stream 2, despite unrelenting external pressure. The reason is clear – the economic viability and expediency of this project”, –  the ambassador concluded.
