Nord Stream Pipeline

Germany halted the Nord Stream 2 Baltic Sea gas pipeline project, designed to double the flow of Russian gas direct to Germany, after Russia formally recognized two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine - Donetsk and Luhansk as "independent" and unleashed a full scale war against Ukraine.

• This is a huge change for German foreign policy with massive implications for energy security and Berlin's broader position towards Moscow. The United States, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and several European countries had opposed the pipeline since it was announced in 2015, warning that the project would increase Russia’s influence in Europe.
