The head of Gazprom Alexei Miller argued in June during a press conference that the third and fourth lines of Nord Stream will be laid by 2019 as part of the project Nord Stream 2. On June 29th 2015, the construction of the gas pipeline Power of Siberia began on Chinese territory. According to Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Gazprom, the construction of the latter will take four years. By the end of the decade, Russians are planning to complete the construction of the pipeline Turkish Stream. It is all supposed to allow them, as the Russians claim, to give up gas transit through Ukraine entirely.
