KYIV. Nov 18 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine is asking the U.S. Senate to include sanctions against Nord Stream 2 in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said.
As Russia generates an energy crisis in Europe and continues to threaten Ukraine, we ask U.S. Senate to respond by including NordStream2 sanctions in Senate NDAA. Ukraine urges you not to protect a geopolitical project that would make Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian aggression," Shmyhal wrote on Twitter Thursady evening.
As reported, on November 12, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude to the U.S. House of Representatives for including amendments to the National Defense Appropriation Act, NDAA, that would oppose the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, and expressed hope for their support by the U.S. Senate.
