Baltic officials have also criticized Nord Stream 2, stressing that it is a geopolitical project and Energy for the purposes of the Union.

Construction of the pipeline is nearing completion, but work came to a sudden halt in December 2019 when the US imposed sanctions on Nord Stream 2 pipelay vessels. As a result, the completion of the last phase, which will now be possible, has been delayed.
