The only possible reason to block 'Nord Stream - 2'
In an interview with the Ukrainian.ru website, political scientist Bogdan Bezpalko named the only reason why Germany had to abandon the launch of the Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. At the moment, it is completely unprofitable for them to stop the project, so this situation can only happen as a last resort, Mr. Bezpalko noted.

There are very strong reasons for this assessment. If Russia suddenly launches a local nuclear bomb attack on the Ukrainian army, then Germany will probably say: “Yes, we can’t do anything here, we have to abandon Nord Stream 2, as a demonstration of Western solidarity in the fight against Russian aggression,” the expert said.
He assessed German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as an extremely intelligent and clever person, always acting in the interests of the country and will not allow factors to prevent German industry from receivingcheap energy sources if it is not absolutely necessary. In addition, Nord Stream 2 is the result of cooperation between Russia and Germany, which both countries have been working towards for a long time.
Earlier, Austrian Minister of Economy and Digital Economy Margarethe Schrambeck said that the country will not abandon its participation in the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, despite the urging of many countries. She explained that Austria has invested heavily in the pipeline through the state-owned oil and gas company OMV.
