European energy security advisor for the US Department of State, Benjamin Schmitt, said that Russia’s construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline undermines the collective energy security of Europe and Ukrainian sovereignty.

«The gas pipeline will divide Europe and make some EU countries dependent on Russian energy resources,» – reported by the UNIAN news agency quoted Benjamin Schmitt.

According to him, the gas transit via Ukraine is a means that hinders Russia’s aggression. Schmitt said that the US Senate and the House of Representatives have submitted five bills to impose sanctions against Russia because of the Nord Stream-2.

So, the companies that are involved in the construction of this gas pipeline have big risks to fall under US sanctions.

As The Journalist reported, the US advises Ukraine to abandon Russian gas and buy liquefied gas from America.
