The "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project jointly built by Russia and Germany had completed the first route before the US-Russia summit. This is a significant achievement for Russia and Germany. The " Nord Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project is a project that does not need to cross Ukraine . This time, both sides are laying pipelines on the seabed to avoid the embarrassment of going through Ukraine. Before the "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project, the natural gas sent to Germany from Russia had to be transported through Ukraine, so it had to pay billions of dollars in "tolls" to Ukraine every year, and also allowed Ukraine to use cheap natural gas resources. 06196/Aviation Vision/AZ.
Ukraine continues to blackmail through natural gas pipelines that transit, which makes Russia and Germany unbearable. So they started the construction of the "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project. Faced with the completion of the first line, Putin won a game back, while Ukraine was angry and announced that it would seek compensation. The claim that Ukraine seeks compensation is quite unreasonable, because Russia provides cheap natural gas to Germany, and "North Stream 2" does not have to pass through Ukrainian territory, so it can effectively reduce costs. Ukraine is so angry that it is because Ukraine cannot threaten Russia and Germany through "North Stream 2", so there is a ridiculous statement of seeking compensation.
Zelensky Before becoming Ukraine's president, he was a household name in Ukraine. Today, Zelensky is making Ukraine perform a tragedy. The "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project has already sent an important signal to Ukraine. If Ukraine blindly turns to the West, Russia will make Ukraine very embarrassed. It is not just that it is not just that it is not allowing Ukraine to obtain tolls for natural gas pipelines. Russia has other "iron fists", including military deterrence against Ukraine. After Ukraine's "color revolution", it began to maintain close relations with the West, thus embarking on the path of actively opposing Russia.
Before the "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project, Ukraine strongly opposed Russia and Germany's practices, and also received support from the three countries of Poland, Baltic and the United States. The United States also used domestic laws to impose sanctions on companies and individuals involved in the "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project. The United States tried to prevent the construction of the "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project through sanctions. On the eve of the completion of the first pipeline of "North Stream 2", U.S. President Biden announced that he would no longer impose sanctions on the "North Stream 2" project. Ukraine was hit by a knife, and the damage was huge.
Regarding the "North Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project, Ukraine actually doesn't need to object at all. In this way, it may be possible to gain some benefits from the process of transporting natural gas from Russia. Originally, Russia did not want to completely cancel the natural gas transportation transiting to Ukraine, but now Ukraine is pressing step by step and actually demanding compensation from Russia. Faced with such unreasonable demands, Russia has not yet responded positively. There is no sufficient reason for Ukraine to ask Russia to provide compensation, because Ukraine simply charges "tolls" and there is no reason for Russia to compensate for "North Stream 2".
