Nord Stream 2 AG was the owner of NS2, which was an addition to NS1 which also bypassed Poland and Ukraine. The ruling of the Bundesnetzagentur is certainly far fetched and purely political, though.Who paid for the Nord Stream pipelines?
They are majority owned (51 per cent) by Russia, along with German, Dutch and French stakeholders. They were financed by a consortium of companies from Russia, Germany, France, Austria and the Netherlands. It was the first pipeline that bypassed Ukraine and Poland to deliver Russian natural gas directly to West Europe.
