The US Senate Committee on International Affairs supported the introduction of sanctions against the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline which is currently under construction. The same decision actually introduces sanctions against another Russian “alternative” pipeline – the Turkish Stream – in the section that concerns the Ukrainian transit. It was decided that the sanctions will affect all participants in the construction of the Nord Stream-2. The portion of the construction participants’ assets under American jurisdiction, must be frozen, the company representatives themselves are prohibited from entering the territory of the United States.
