The\u00a0Financial Times<\/em>\u00a0has reported that US investors, led by Matthias Warnig, the former manager of the Nord Stream 2 project, are working on a plan to restart the natural gas pipeline. According to the newspaper’s sources, some officials from the Trump administration see this initiative as part of an effort to mend relations with Russia and end the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Financial Times<\/em>\u00a0(FT<\/em>) wrote that American investors are working on a plan to restart the natural gas pipeline, with the support of Matthias Warnig, the former manager of the Nord Stream 2 project.<\/p>\n

According to sources reached by the newspaper, some officials from the Donald Trump administration are aware of Warnig’s initiative and consider this possibility as part of efforts to re-establish relations with Russia.<\/p>\n

The same sources indicate that some figures in the administration view Nord Stream 2 as a strategic bargaining chip that could be used for peace negotiations in the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n

A former senior US official with knowledge of the matter told\u00a0FT<\/em>, “The US will say, ‘Russia can now be trusted because reliable Americans are involved in this business.'”<\/p>\n

The same official added that US investors would start making money “for free.”<\/p>\n

In September 2022, one line of Nord Stream 2 and both lines of Nord Stream 1 were damaged by explosions.<\/p>\n

The second line of Nord Stream 2, which has an annual capacity of 27.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas, was not damaged and has never been used.<\/p>\n

According to information obtained by\u00a0FT<\/em>, the European Union administration has also been aware of discussions regarding Nord Stream 2 in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

It is stated that European leaders are concerned about this situation and have discussed the issue among themselves. The newspaper emphasizes that the implementation of Warnig’s plan would give the US unprecedented influence over Europe’s energy supply.<\/p>\n

For the plan to be implemented, the US needs to lift sanctions, Russia needs to agree to restart natural gas supplies, and Germany (the pipeline’s station is located in northern Germany) needs to agree to deliver the gas to European buyers.<\/p>\n

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that he had no information about any discussions regarding the pipeline.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Warnig said that he “did not participate in any discussions with American politicians or business representatives” and added that “as a person under US sanctions, he complies with the rules.”<\/p>\n

In January, the Swiss parent company of the pipeline, Nord Stream 2 AG, was granted a four-month reprieve in its bankruptcy case.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0FT<\/em>, court records show that Gazprom justified the postponement by noting that the new presidential administration in the US and the February elections in Germany could have significant impacts on Nord Stream 2.<\/p>\n

According to a source of the newspaper, several investors have shown interest in the project, and a consortium has developed a plan for a post-sanctions agreement with Gazprom.<\/p>\n

However, senior US officials and business people with experience working in Russia, interviewed by\u00a0FT<\/em>, warned that the approval of Putin and Trump would not be enough to restart the pipeline.<\/p>\n

A former senior US official said, “I can’t imagine the board of any major American company saying, ‘Let’s go back to the Russian market’ right now, and the Russians know this; they have seen the fluctuations in American policy.”<\/p>\n

The same official reminded that EU sanctions are still in place and that restarting the pipeline would lead to strong reactions in Germany, saying, “There is still a long way to go for something like this to happen.”<\/p>\n
