The resumption of Russian gas supplies for the North Stream pipeline should not be considered as a sign of the reliability of Russia, the Minister of Economics and Vice Chancellor of Germany Robert Habek warned on the air of the German social and legal television channel ZDF.
According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly used gas supplies for his strategic purposes to split Germany and Europe: “We should recognize that Putin involves this gas lever against us. Therefore, we should use gas and continue to search Alternatives “.
Habek also called Moscow explanations about the turbine for the Nord Stream, due to the lack of which she refused to resume gas supply, “far-fetched argument” and “insolvent game.” Gazprom has a sufficient number of turbines, the minister is sure. According to Khabek, even before the maintenance of the North Stream could work 100 percent.
