Dmitry Medvedev: Welcome to the brave new world where Europeans are very soon going to pay €2.000 for 1.000 cubic meters of natural gas

Welcome to the brave new world where Europeans are very soon going to pay €2.000 for 1.000 cubic meters of natural gas, - Russia's Deputy Security Council Secretary Dmitry Medvedev has thus responded to Germany's decision to suspend the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

“German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has issued an order to halt the process of certifying the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Well. Welcome to the brave new world where Europeans are very soon going to pay €2.000 for 1.000 cubic meters of natural gas!” Medvedev tweeted.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Tuesday that Germany has taken steps to halt the process of certifying the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia, Deutsche Welle reports.

He told reporters in Berlin that his government was taking the measure in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine.

"That sounds technical, but it is the necessary administrative step so there can be no certification of the pipeline and without this certification, Nord Stream 2 cannot begin operating," Scholz said.
