In order to prevent Russia's " Nord Stream 2 " natural gas pipeline project, the United States has issued a special sanction order, threatening European countries participating in the "North Stream 2" project. Under the threat from the United States, Switzerland and Poland and chose to compromise. Switzerland ditched its investment and Poland launched a claim, which had a serious impact on the implementation of the "North Stream II" project and left two major obstacles.
It is reported that when the Nord Stream II natural gas pipeline project was about to be completed, the United States imposed sanctions on it, and under pressure from the United States, Switzerland unilaterally chose to withdraw its investment, which led to an economic gap in the construction of the last part of the Nord Stream II project. Fortunately, Russia is responsible and took the initiative to invest in filling this economic gap, allowing the final laying of the "Beixi 2" project to proceed smoothly. So the problems left by Switzerland have now been solved by Russia.
After Russia solved the problem in Switzerland, good news came from Poland. Recently, the Polish President said: The normal construction of the "North Stream 2" project will be allowed. Previously, when the "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline came to its final stage, Poland suddenly asked Russia for sky-high compensation, asking Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. to compensate Poland's National Oil and Natural Gas Company for 6 billion zloty. If Russia does not provide compensation, Poland will confiscate the investment funds of the "North Stream 2" project of the "North Stream 2" project.
Now the Polish president publicly announced that allowing the normal construction of the "North Stream 2" project means that this problem has been solved. Why did Poland suddenly change its attitude? This may be very related to the European side! Recently, the relationship between Europe and the United States has changed, so in some things, there is no need for Europe to sacrifice its own interests to support the United States. You should know that once the "North Stream II" pipeline is completed, it can transport 55 billion cubic meters of low-priced natural gas to EU countries every year, which will help EU countries save a lot of money, so the EU can fully exert influence on Poland and let Poland change its decision.
At this point, Russia cleared two major obstacles in the "North Stream 2" project, and made the United States waste all its efforts. As we all know, for Russia, the "North Stream 2" project is really very important. It can not only win over Europe and make Russia-Europe relations better, but also earn benefits for Russia and improve Russia's comprehensive strength. Even the "North Stream 2" project can have an impact on the United States, crack down on US oil and gas merchants' exports to Europe, and reduce the US's bargaining chips to control Europe.
