Nord Stream 2

Nord Stream 2 is the Russian-built pipeline in the Baltic Sea designed to transport natural gas directly from Russia to Germany. The pipeline would have removed the need for Ukrainian transit of Russian natural gas, which had long been a source of leverage for Ukraine in its uneven relationship with Russia. In September 2022, a series of explosions sabotaged the pipeline.
