Nord Stream recognized Matthias Warnig’s outstanding leadership and invaluable contribution throughout his long journey to build a major cross-border energy infrastructure.
In February, the British Foreign Office reported that London had sanctioned Warnig. The US Treasury also imposed sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG and its chief executive last February.
On September 26, 2022, simultaneous explosions occurred on two of Russia’s export gas pipelines to Europe (North Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2). Germany, Denmark and Sweden did not exclude targeted sabotage. Nord Stream operator Nord Stream AG estimated that the destruction of the gas pipelines was unprecedented and it was impossible to predict the timing of repairs. The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office filed a lawsuit regarding the international terrorist act.
Nord Stream 2 is a natural gas pipeline with a capacity of 55 billion cubic meters per year from the coast of Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea. It was implemented by Nord Stream 2 AG with Gazprom as its sole shareholder. Construction of the gas pipeline took three years and was completed in 2021.
