The EU sanctioned repair and laying ships so will it keep sanctions on?
EU has..

Now Poland sanctioned Gazprom so no deliveries through Belarus YAMAL.
There is a payment dispute between Gazprom and Naftogas (Ukraine) so Russia threatens to stop deliveries.

@visitor_day@oyryeng which Poland has a weak hand and is pushing its position as a new European energy hub to countries to commit to long term deals (LNG, NOR,...) so it secures future income.
Meanwhile the Russia is strategically hinting EU pushing it to commit to lifting sanctions so NS could be..

Are we there yet?
Nope...
