A leading British parliamentarian has called for the blocking of the Russian-German Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, in response to the arrest of a Belarusian opposition activist on a plane diverted to Minsk on Sunday evening.
Tom Tugendhat, a Tory MP and chair of the foreign affairs committee in Westminster, also said the existing
“Yamato” (sic) energy pipeline
“must be frozen” in response to the arrest of Roman Protasevich in Minsk over the weekend. The most likely autocorrected name was a reference to the Yamal-Europe pipeline, which supplies Germany and Austria with natural gas from Russia, via Belarus and Poland.
