Reference News Network, February 22 report, according to TASS, on February 22, the Berlin Daily quoted sources as saying that the United States may play a key role in the potential resumption of the Nord Stream pipeline.
It is known that Washington may resume supplying Russian natural gas to Europe, hoping to expand its control over European energy infrastructure. The report said that secret negotiations to resume the operation of the Nord Stream pipeline seem to be underway.
The French magazine "Foreign Affairs World" also reported that informal contacts regarding the possible resumption of the Nord Stream pipeline are taking place beyond the sight of international institutions and the public, referring to these contacts as "backstage diplomacy".
On September 26, 2022, the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines suffered an unprecedented act of terrorism, with only one branch of the pipeline system composed of four pipelines remaining intact. The Russian General Procurator's Office has initiated a criminal case for this act of international terrorism. (Translation by He Yingjun)
