MOSCOW, March 28 (Itar-Tass) - RIA Novosti. The company "Naftogaz" called the decision of Germany to issue a permit for the construction of "Nord Stream - 2" unpleasant, but predictable. This follows from the message of the Ukrainian corporation on Facebook.

"The opposition ... (the decision of Germany - Ed.) Does not stop." The best defense for Ukraine, which will help us and our allies, is the completion of the reform of the gas market, "Naftogaz said, vowing to" continue the struggle. "

Earlier on Tuesday, Berlin issued a permit for the construction and use of Nord Stream-2 in the German exclusive economic zone.

In turn, the authorities of the German city of Stralsund in January allowed the construction of a sea section of the gas pipeline in the territorial waters of the country and its land part.

Thus, Gazprom has collected all the necessary permits for laying a gas pipeline in Germany.

The Nord Stream-2 project involves the construction of two strings with a total capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Pipes will be laid from the coast of Russia through the Baltic Sea to Germany, next to the current "Nord Stream".

Nord Stream 2 AG, a pipeline operator, expects to receive construction permits in the next four months in four other countries - Russia, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

Against the implementation of the project are several countries. So, earlier Latvia, Lithuania and Poland issued a joint statement against its construction. The leaders of these countries are sure that the Nord Stream-2 project is political. According to the media, this appeal was also signed by Kiev and Chisinau.

The US is also unhappy with the project - State Department spokesman Heather Naouert stated that "Nord Stream-2" "undermines Europe's energy security and stability."

The project is beneficial to all participants, and it will not be affected by the diplomatic scandals of recent weeks, said Director of the Institute of National Energy Sergei Pravosudov. The expert notes that the project is beneficial to all participants, therefore Finland, Denmark and Sweden should approve it in the near future. "Nord Stream - 1," recalls the justice, is already working, making a profit.
