Nord Stream will not be launched even after the end of the Ukrainian conflict, European Commission spokeswoman Paula Pinho told reporters. She noted that the EC opposes the joint attempt of Russia and the United States to revive the project. "We already have legislation that prohibits us from importing gas from Russia, and it will remain in effect." On Wednesday, the "Financial Times" newspaper wrote, citing sources, that Russia and the US in the negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement touched on possible joint projects in the energy sector, including the issue of supplying gas to Europe through the remaining Nord Stream pipelines.
