OREANDA-NEWS  The head of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty, Ralf Niemeyer, said that Germany should resume gas imports from Russia. He said this in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to the politician, Germany should use the thread of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline that survived the terrorist attacks of 2022. "It can be done, you just need a license," he said.

Niemeyer added that the United States had made a deal with Russia on fuel supplies in its interests, and Berlin had no reason not to do the same. "This would be an instant solution to our problems, and we would be able to return to normal relations with Russia, at least in the energy sector. But then it would be worthwhile to lift sanctions [from Russia] in all other areas," he urged.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke about German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's attitude towards the Nord Streams. According to Lavrov, Merc will not restore the operation of the gas pipelines.
