The #sanctions against the #BalticSea pipeline decided by the #US #Senate meet with resistance in #Moscow, criticism also came from #German Chancellor #Merkel. The #Kremlin still expects #NordStream2 to be completed.

Meanwhile, #Russia accuses the #UnitedStates of violating the law with pipeline sanctions.The punitive measures #violate international law and are an example of unfair competition, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow. "Such actions do not please Moscow or the #European capitals;

they do not like #Berlin or #Paris," said Peskow. He accused the #US of violating #international law and "expanding its artificial dominance to the #European market". Chancellor Angela #Merkel has also criticized the #US Congress's sanction resolution.

"I don't see any other way than to have a conversation, but very firm discussions that we don't approve of these #sanctions." The 2100KM #pipeline will come near the #Danish island of #Bornholm.

In #Denmark, this project met with #criticism and the last section was late approved in #October. Thus, the #Dutch-#Swiss company #Allseas can put the last kilometers over the #Danish #continental #shelf.

Above all, the federal state of #MecklenburgWesternPomerania benefits most from what is the economically #weakest federal state in #Germany and thus hopes for high revenues. Allseas will face sanction because of the US and also @Gazprom and other companys
