The senator noted that there is a bipartisan opposition to Nord Stream 2 in Congress.
"Last year we approved a package of sanctions for this project and look forward to the adoption of additional sanctions this year. We believe that the Nord Stream 2 project has serious consequences for Ukraine, as well as for Europe's energy security in the future, as the completion of this project will give Russia a powerful weapon that can be used against Europe. We will continue to consider the means to influence the completion of this project, as well as its further operation after completion, because, as you know, before commissioning, it must obtain permits and licenses," Shaheen said.
