According to the Financial Times, a series of new sanctions are being drafted, with the support of the United States, and will aim to reduce funding and technology transfer for future gas projects. If imposed, these sanctions will affect the European giants. Like BP, Total and Shell – which invest in Russia’s energy sector. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline, designed to supply Germany with Russian gas through the Baltic Sea, has already become hostage to geopolitical tensions between Russia and NATO. Washington has repeatedly accused Moscow of using the pipeline as a lever to make European consumers more dependent on Russian gas, a claim that Moscow vehemently denies, stating that it is a purely commercial project beneficial to both sides. This week, US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said Washington would work with Germany to ensure the Nord Stream 2 pipeline does not survive in the event of Russia’s “invasion” of Ukraine. In recent months, the West and Ukraine have accused Russia of concentrating its forces near the Ukrainian border in alleged preparation for an invasion. Russia has repeatedly stated that it does not intend to invade Ukraine, while emphasizing that it has the right to transfer troops within its territory.
