Top ministers in Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania all told Newsweek they had little hope that Russia would act in good faith over the new natural gas pipeline.
But in the Baltic states there is little hope that the Kremlin will play by the rules.
Asked whether the project would undermine EU and NATO security, Liimets replied:"I truly hope that it will not, and that the security measures, that the cautious measures, that have been taken are proper." Russia has said it will consider extending the agreement with Ukraine, but only if it is sufficiently profitable. Presidentrecently complained that the aging pipeline running through Ukraine could"burst" at any moment.
"I remember that back in 2016, 2017, 2018, there was a lot of discussion within the EU. We were saying that this was a project that goes against EU energy policy... And there were countries that were saying: 'No, this is nothing to do with the EU.'" "I can't imagine how we can declare the cutting of emissions and the green energy policy on one hand, and on the other hand continue building pipelines or continue exporting gas."
