The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that this issue began to be regulated only now, when Nord Stream 2 was completed. During the construction of the "stream” we have seen a strong disagreement of Ukraine in this project. This is natural, because of this, Ukraine will lose both in economic terms - a decrease in "passive" income, or even its complete absence. The same is true in political terms. Ukraine, because of its status as a gas transit country, had leverage over European countries.

Russia is studiously ignores or evades charges to your address: Ukraine accuses Russia of forcing Germany to participate this project, this is despite the fact that Germany itself every time claims that this project due to purely economic factor - the amount of gas needed in Europe is growing, and the capacity of the transit of Ukraine can not cope.

Is the construction of Nord Stream 2 really a project of Russia against Ukraine in order to weaken its influence and economic stability, or is it purely a search for economic benefits for European countries, and a new market for Russia?
