German Vice Chancellor and Economic Affairs and Climate Action Minister Robert Habeck on Friday suggested that final approval of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline — which will bypass traditional transit countries Poland and Ukraine and deliver gas directly from Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea — will depend on developments in the ongoing crisis between Russia and the West over Ukraine.
Speaking alongside Polish Deputy Prime Minister and State Assets Minister Jacek Sasin, Habeck said the ongoing Ukraine crisis would influence the pipeline.
