A gas pipeline from Russia to Germany “North Stream-2” must be commissioned immediately. This was stated by the Deputy Chairman of the Opposition Free Democratic Party of Germany and the vice president of the Bundestag Wolfgang Cubes, writes Network Germany.
“We must open” Northern Stream -2 “as soon as possible to fill our gas storage facilities for the winter. There is no good reason not to open it,” he said in an interview. The official noted that as soon as Germany manages to fill all the tanks for storing gas, the Nord Stream-2 can be closed again.
Wolfgang Cubes emphasized that Russia can stop gas supply, Germany will not lose anything. In his opinion, the improvement of gas supply should be a priority for the government.
The situation with gas in Germany is very serious. In the winter of the current stocks, it is not enough, it is impossible to quickly replenish them. This was influenced by the sanctions imposed against Russia and attempts to abandon Russian energy carriers.
