U.S. And Germany Reach Deal On Russian Pipeline

The Biden Administration, on Wednesday, announced a far-reaching gareement with Germany, in an effort to ensure Ukraine's Energy Security, as the U.S. steps back its efforts to Prevent, the Use of a Controversial Russian Pipeline delivering Natural Gas to Europe.

The Announcement marks a significant Compromise between: the U.S., Germany, and Ukraine, over the Fate of the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline, the Russian Gas Line transiting the Baltic Sea to Germany, which the Administration has called a "geopolitical malign influence project."

The Pipeline is believed to be about 95% complete and U.S. Opposition has stretched across Three Administrations: Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden.

Both the Trump and Biden Administrations had Imposed Sanctions on Individuals and Entities involved in the Pipeline's Construction, saying it Threatens Europe's Energy Security and Robs Ukraine of Key Revenue related to the Delivery of Natural Gas.

A Senior State Department Official, on Wednesday, said the U.S. maintains its Opposition to the Pipeline, but that the Agreement with Germany is meant to Reduce the Risk from Russia of the Operational Pipeline.

"What we have is really a commitment on the part of both the United States and Germany to hold Russia accountable and to impose costs if it elects to use energy as a weapon or to commit aggressive acts," the Senior Official said. "And so that's the headline here, that's our commitment."

Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, will meet Biden at the White House. on Aug. 30th.

“The visit will affirm the United States’ unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s ongoing aggression in the Donbas and Crimea, our close cooperation on energy security, and our backing for President Zelenskyy’s efforts to tackle corruption and implement a reform agenda based on our shared democratic values,” White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, said in a Statement.

But many Democrats Torch Biden’s Russian Pipeline Deal.
