Not impressed: Russian Prime Miniser Vladimir Putin on Nord Stream delays
Russia may scrap Nord Stream pipeline
Russia may ditch its Baltic Sea gas pipeline project, Nord Stream, and build gas liquefaction plants instead if Europe keeps delaying the pipeline, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said today.
"Europe must decide whether it needs this pipeline or not," Putin told Finland's Prime Minister, Matti Vanhanen, at a meeting in Moscow.
"If you don't we will build liquefaction plants and send gas to world markets, including to European markets.
“But it will be simply more expensive for you. You are free to make the calculations yourself," he added.
