Detail About MCQs
Nord Stream 2 is a 1,200km-long offshore natural gas pipeline being constructed to connect Europe to the world’s largest reserves in Northern Russia. Russia’s state-owned Gazprom will own and operate the pipeline through its wholly-owned subsidiary Nord Stream 2. Nord Stream 2 will follow the route laid down by the Nord Stream pipeline and run through the Baltic Sea from the St Petersburg region (Russia) to Baltic Coast in northeast Germany. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz suspended certification of Nord Stream 2 on 22 February 2022 in consequence of Russia’s recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics and the deployment of troops in territory held by the DPR and LPR.
