Wasn't that the whole point of NS2, to have a pipeline that doesn't go through Ukraine?

  Right. And that is why many in germany oppose it. With the recent developments, it might be dead completely.

    It’s already complete, Germany is also opposing any economic sanctions that target Russia’s energy sector.

    > that is why many in germany oppose it Hm... why? Because the Germans, out of goodness of their hearts, want the Russians to keep dumping the annual $1.5bil+ transit fees into Ukraine? It's the same exact dependency on the same exact gas, just delivered through a bunch of countries each grabbing a cut, instead of directly.

      Maybe because some of them (like here and everywhere) put sometimes ideology before the wallet. We're to see though how many and how consequently.

        Easy to say for those who can absorb the higher energy cost. Millions of Germans can't.
        • soco 5y ago
          I expect that Germany (the state) will shoulder some of those costs. But I'm not a German so I'll have to see what happens, because right now the project was officially put on ice.

    NS2 has always been a carrot that Russia was never going to get.

  This map is not current. It lacks NS1 leading from Wyborg, Russia, most eastern Baltic Sea to Lubmin, Germany, since 2011, right next to Rostock in the western Baltic Sea(in the scale of that map). And NS2 mostly parallel to it, with the exception of starting in Ust-Luga, Russia. Maybe try https://www.gie.eu/publications/maps/ https://www.gie.eu/publications/maps/ for a more complete view.
