Poland s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has slammed German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier for his recent remarks suggesting that the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline that would deliver gas to Europe bypassing Ukraine and Poland should be supported as part of his country s historical debt before Russia for World War Two. I agree with the [German] president that postwar debts have not been paid, but Nord Stream 2 is no compensation, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki tweeted Thursday, February 11, as per Deutsche Welle. This move behind the EU s back will facilitate Russia s aggressive policies, increase Europe s dependence, and undermine the economy and security, PM added.

Berlin (CNSNews.com) – Germany continues to defend of its controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project with Russia amid allegations that its finance ministry offered a deal last year effectively to pay the U.S. to waive sanctions.
Meanwhile an attempt by Germany’s president to justify the project as a form of belated war repatriations to Russia went down badly in Ukraine, a country that stands to be significantly disadvantaged by the pipeline project which will double gas supplies from Russia to western Europe.
