Welt: Germany intends to buy 3,000 pipes intended for Nord Stream 2

This is reported by the newspaper Die Welt, citing sources.

“U.S. sanctions are no longer a barrier to pipe purchases,” the publication says.

It is noted that Germany will be able to purchase pipes, provided that the money from their purchase is not sent to Russia.

Earlier, Reuters reported that the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines are going to be mothballed, since there are currently no plans to repair them.
