Patrushev: Berlin is aware that the destruction of the Nord Stream will undermine the German economy

Berlin knows that the explosion at Nord Stream will result in further degradation of the German economy, but continues to follow Washington’s lead. This statement was made by the Secretary of the Security of Russia, Nikolai Patrushev, writes weekly “Arguments and Facts”.

According to him, Germany, which has been trying for many years to shape its economy on the basis of a combination of cheap energy resources from the Russian Federation and advanced German technologies, is more aware than anyone else that a terrorist attack on a gas pipeline will definitely lead the German economy “to further decline.” In addition, Berlin is well aware that close economic cooperation between Germany and Russia has never been to the liking of the United States and Great Britain, Patrushev believes.

As the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation noted, the US administration is forcing the German authorities “to go along with the version of sabotage on the pipeline that is beneficial to the US authorities.”
