October 12, Fineko/abc.az. Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the future of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines today, October 12, at international forum Russian Energy Week.

ABC.AZ reports that the Russian leader emphasized that, of course, it is possible to repair damaged gas pipelines that run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

"I will say that it is certainly possible to repair gas pipelines that have been undermined and run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea. But this will make sense only in the case of their further economically justified operation and, of course, while ensuring the safety of the route. This is the primary condition," Putin says.

The Russian leader emphasized that this is a commercial project in which Russian and European companies participate on an equal footing.
