Both strands of the highway will fully work before the end of the year.
Starting from October 1 of this year, gas supplies are expected to begin via the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, and two months later, by December 1, both branches of the main line will be operating.
This is reported by a close source of Gazprom “Bloomberg.
At the same time, the agency noted that the timing of the launch of gas supplies to the European gas transportation system depends on the decision of the German regulator.
Earlier, the head of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, reported that gas supplies via the Nord Stream-2 to Europe will begin before the end of the year.
In turn, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reported that the launch of the first highway will begin in the near future.
It should be noted that the United States and Ukraine actively oppose this process.
So, Washington even imposed another package of sanctions against some Russian individuals who are involved in the construction of the gas pipeline, but they were later canceled.
At the moment, the last steps are being taken to connect the Danish and German sections of the gas pipeline, after which commissioning will be carried out.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that the United States and Ukraine called the Nord Stream-2 an energy threat to Europe.
British media: Putin will set standards for the supply of the resource.
The British tabloid Daily Express published an article in which it analyzes the imminent opening and launch of the Russian gas project Nord Stream-2.
The authors of the publication, with reference to the words of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov, report that the construction will be completed in the coming days. And therefore, the UK may find itself face to face with the problem of rationing the supply of natural gas, as a consequence of dependence on Russian resources.
According to the authors, such a scenario is possible, “the stability of Europe is still in the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin.”
The article also mentions the opinion of American expert Michael McKay, who criticized President Joe Biden, and called the president’s decision to negotiate with Germany on the issue of SP-2 a serious mistake.
The analyst stated that this split NATO.
In the comments to the article, ordinary Britons pointed out that the UK has been in need of developing alternative fuels for several years, in particular, tidal, wind, solar and water energy.
Meanwhile, as they testify, 95% of houses in the country are heated with the help of gas boilers.
“The EU should become a hostage to the communist supplies of Russian gas,” says one of the readers of the tabloid.
Recall, as Topnews wrote earlier, earlier“the energy threat to Ukraine ” was called the appearance of“Nord Stream-2 & #8221; by Presidents Vladimir Zelensky and Joe Biden.

The regulator assessed the risks against the background of the growth of global debt.
Analysts of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation have admitted a new global financial crisis, which may happen in 2023 and will be able to compare in scale with what the world experienced in 2008.
According to experts, such a development of events can happen because of the global debt that is accumulated by states and large corporations.
As reported in the draft of the main directions of the country’s monetary policy until 2024 published by the Central Bank, the debt has grown against the background of the pandemic.
So, as the Institute of International Finance found out, global debt grew by $ 24 trillion last year, moreover, its ratio to global GDP reached 355%. If we compare these indicators with 2008, then the ratio of GDP to debt was lower.
Central Bank experts suggest that the US authorities, as well as other countries, will follow the path of tightening monetary policy, and temporary pandemic measures that stimulate the economy will also be curtailed.
In addition, investors will start getting rid of risky stocks, which can bring down markets where bubbles are already being observed at the moment. A drop in oil prices to $ 40 per barrel will put an end to the crisis.
As a result, in two years the economy in the Russian Federation will experience a decline of 1.4-2.4%, inflation will rise and the Central Bank will have to resort to a tough policy.
The recovery, according to analysts, will take at least two or three quarters, but by 2024 an increase of 3-4% will begin.
As Topnews wrote earlier, the Central Bank has already stated that a new financial crisis is inevitable.
