1/3 On meeting between Putin and former German Chancellor Schroeder, Kremlin spokesman Peskov: "The ex-Chancellor asked whether the Nord Stream 2 can be engaged, in the severe crisis situation, speaking hypothetically. In other words, Putin was not the initiator.
2/3 “Putin did not suggest that. However, Putin said this is possible in terms of technology; a huge effort was completed and this project, a very complex mechanism, is ready to be used at once.
3/3 “Even if we eventually imagine that we activate NS 2 now,we'll be able to pump 27.5 bcm,not more, until end of the year. A half was spent for domestic consumption. President told Schroeder in detail about all that. Schroeder has not expressed any desire to become a mediator.”
