The US may lift sanctions from the Russian "Nord Stream": what the media is writing and what the State Department says

To spread: in the White House, the possibility of cancellation of sanctions on the Russian gas pipeline "Nord Stream 2", as well as from other assets of the Russian Federation in Europe, was considered. However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that it was an "absolute lie. " Politico wrote about the possibility of withdrawing sanctions.

The publication referred to several informed sources and noted that the removal of sanctions from Nord Stream 2 would mean a radical reversal of American policy. By the way, for the first time sanctions against the Russian gas pipeline were introduced just during the Presidency of Donald Trump - more precisely, his first cadence. President Joe Biden initially abandoned these sanctions, but resumed them after a full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine in 2022.

The main supporter of the idea of ​​the current cancellation of the sanctions of the source Politico was called the Special Representative of the White House Stava Witcoff. However, he refutes this information. The State Secretary of Marco Rubio made a similar statement. "This is absolutely lies. Neither I nor Vitcoff had any conversations about the withdrawal of sanctions from Russia in the framework of a peace agreement with Ukraine.

It is a completely fictional plot," - wrote Rubio on the social network X and advised Politico to withdraw the material. We will remind, on the eve of April 23, it became known that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio refused to visit London to the planned negotiations in Ukraine. The reason is called state dissatisfaction with the position of the Ukrainian side.
