Germany admits that the construction of Nord Stream 2 may be frozen

Germany admits that the construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline may be delayed or stopped altogether due to the American sanctions imposed on the project. This is stated in the report of Uniper, one of Gazprom's financial partners in the project.

According to the document, the company admits that tougher US sanctions against the gas pipeline increase the likelihood of delays in construction or a complete freeze of the project. At the same time, it is emphasized that the company is closely monitoring the situation and taking the necessary measures. It is noted that the German government is in favor of completing the project, providing political support for the construction. Also, several European countries are in favor of the project.

As the US intensifies its efforts on targeted sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 project, the likelihood of a delay or even a halt in pipeline construction increases.

- says the report.

At the same time, if the project is frozen, the company will write off the loan granted for the construction and lose the expected interest income from the pipeline.

Earlier, the German government has come out with support for companies implementing the gas pipeline project and which the US is threatening with sanctions. In addition, the Eastern Committee of the German Economy (OAOEV) called on the authorities of the country and the European Union to unite against the US sanctions against the "SP-2" and to protect German and European companies.

Russia also announced its intention to bring the project to completion and expressed the hope that Germany would support the construction and oppose American pressure.

"effective managers" who believe in the "invisible hand of the market"

I doubt that there are still such "believers" left. There was a profitable project - they began to implement it. In fact, at the moment everything rests on the political will on the part of Germany - will it withstand pressure from the states or not.

Not really. The Germans, for example, are strong enough, at least in order to defend their own interests, this is what ours counted on. But for some reason they don't. For some reason, the completion of the gas pipeline fell entirely on Russia. And bargaining with the Danes. Either the weak-willed are afraid, or they themselves are playing some interesting game.

[snucerist]

What does political will have to do with it?
I'm tired of proving from commentary to comment that economic interests are at stake in the first place.
Germany wanted to get some price gescheft for gas and increase its influence on the rest of the EU with a hand on the crane - it fit into this adventure with the SP-2.
As soon as I realized that the economic losses from the American sanctions will exceed the loot already invested in the project, it works back. Everything is logical. According to the laws of business. Who wants to part with most of the money if there is an opportunity to get by with a little? Plus, the risk of reputational losses is eliminated. The reputation of a company is developed over the years, and is lost in an instant. Allseas realized this immediately and quickly reeled up their rods.

[mojohed2012]

And that's right! It is money and related dividends that rule the course of Germany and the United States, and they will stop at nothing to grab more.
And the USSR, like the Russian Federation, as always on "logic, conscience and honesty" will receive only losses and failures. You can't trust the "partners". They have turned too far in recent years.

It was you who described one of the goodies that interested Germany, but at the same time overlooked the fact that Germany and Europe as a whole, to generate energy, are refusing fuel oil, coal and nuclear power plants, and their industry will collapse on wind turbines and solar panels. time. It turns out that Europe's demand for gas will only grow.

That's just not logical and not according to the laws of business (except perhaps only American business), since the Germans also know how to count and understand that having jumped from pipeline gas at 300 to liquefied gas at 600 at XNUMX, they will be in eternal prominence, as the final price increases produced product and it loses its competitive advantage.

At one time, the United States also put a spoke in the wheels of the construction of a gas pipeline from the USSR to Europe, introducing sanctions and embargoes, but it took place and has been pumping gas for 40 years. So it seems that SP-2, albeit not without difficulties, will be completed.

When the orgy with SP-2 ends, and the Europeans begin to receive cheaper gas from Russia than American LNG, the issue of SP-3 will come up, albeit not immediately, but over time.

I don't understand many of the local commentators:
1. VO equates the opinion of the company, moreover, calling it for some reason a financial partner, although it is rather a simple financial operator to the opinion of the German government (which is exactly the opposite !!!!!);
2. And what, having written about the risk of project suspension due to sanctions, did they say something new? Before that, no one understood that there were such risks, seriously? Someone does not understand that a strategic issue is now being resolved - will Germany make an application for real political sovereignty or not.
3. Who is there broadcasting about the unprofitability of this project? Can you confirm your statements with approximate figures?
4. None of the largest companies left the project, and the hysterics were already shouting "Everything is lost, boss, everything is lost !!" running in circles.
5. The funniest thing is that after the completion of sp2 it is these hysterics, proudly puffing out their breasts, will begin to broadcast - "Here! I always knew that!"

For so many years and fiercely little ones, they have not acquired their own ships and infrastructure! Dependence on the West is in their heads first of all.

Just like in that song:
"Forty souls howl in shifts, white-hot.
That's how much triangular affairs are troubling ":)
It's just not a triangle, Gazprom's problems are being discussed in all seriousness, if Miller will receive a bonus, how much the Germans will pay for gas and how the Americans will start selling LNG to the EU.
Do not worry, the Germans will not pass a sandwich past their mouths, they really need this gas, but Gazprom can pull the cat by different limbs for another 4 years and quietly build gas processing plants, just in case. Natural minerals are such an interesting thing, they either exist and they are not, and it also happens that somewhere there is, but somewhere there is no delivery or not enough, and it even happens.

In continental Europe, only Austria, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden and France have no American bases.
