Scholz, Nord Stream a private-sector project

The EU will ensure that Ukraine's "integrity is not violated"

(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, DEC 17 - Ukraine and its closest supporters in the West want to cancel the opening of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which will carry Russian gas supplies to Germany, bypassing Ukraine. Germany's new leader has been cautious on this, and some of the leaders meeting in Brussels fear pre-emptive sanctions will provoke rather than deter Russia. Scholz said the pipeline was a private-sector project and that an apolitical approval process under EU energy law is underway. The EU will ensure that Ukraine's "integrity is not violated" by the decision, he said. (ANSA-AFP).
