Courts to stay away: Russian "Nord Stream-2" polluted the Baltic Sea with gas

Journalists write that gas leakage occurred not only from the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, but also from the Nord Stream-1. In both cases, a sharp decrease in pressure in the pipes was recorded. The Danish authorities urged the courts not to float close to the Bonholm Island in the Baltic Sea. The forbidden zone is declared within the radius of five sea miles. The whole thing is in the leakage of gas from the already closed Russian gas pipeline "Nord Stream-2". Reuters writes about it.

The operator's message states that the pressure fell from 105 to 7 bars. It is reported that the German government also stated that they are in negotiations with Denmark, working with local law enforcement. It is unknown what caused the sudden pressure in the pipeline. The Denmark Ministry refused to comment on the situation. The material says that the North Stream operator also stated the pressure drop on both gas pipeline lines. They stated that the reasons for this were clarified.

The President of the German Network Regulator Claus Muller said that the pressure drop in both pipelines indicates that the situation is very unstable. This event did not affect the safety of supply in Germany, and the level of gas storage in the country is about 91%. "We are currently in contact with the relevant authorities to clarify the situation. We still have no clarity about the causes and accurate facts," the German Ministry of Economy said.

Also, the Russian gas exporter Gazprom referred the question of the incident of the Nord Stream operator - 2. The material states that the leakage occurred a day from the launch of the Baltic Tube, which gas should be supplied from Norway to Poland. This project is a central element of Warsaw's efforts to diversify Russian gas supply. "North Stream-2" is a main gas pipeline from the Russian Federation to Germany. Its length is 1234 kilometers.

On February 22, 2022, after Russia's recognition of the so -called "DNR" and "LNR", Germany suspended the certification of the gas pipeline. Then US President Joe Biden has ordered sanctions against Nord Stream 2 AG. Earlier, Focus wrote that experts told how Russia's economy survives in isolation. The aggressor country is already forced to stop the largest factories specializing in methanol production.
