“We really discussed energy relations, issues related to Nord Stream 2. I made it clear once again that our task is to maintain Ukraine’s status as a transit partner (gas – ed.),” Merkel said.
According to her, the agreement between Germany and the United States is aimed precisely at preventing Ukraine from leaving the list of gas transit countries.
Merkel noted that she voiced Berlin’s position on this issue in Warsaw and stressed that her country supports the gas pipeline.
“We said that we support Nord Stream 2,” the chancellor added.
As a result, Merkel summed up, “there are obligations of Russia that after 2024 gas will be transported through Ukraine so that there is no hybrid war in the energy sector.”
