• The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline was built in the fall of 2021, but never launched. On February 22, Germany stopped the launch process in response to Russia's recognition of the independence of the self-proclaimed DNR and LNR.
• The Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline continued to operate after the start of the war. But at first, Russia reduced, and later completely stopped the flow of gas through it, citing a malfunction of the only working turbine. The Kremlin has said that the gas pipeline will not be launched until sanctions are lifted from the Russian Federation that impede the maintenance of its units.
• In the EU, stopping Nord Stream 1 is considered a political decision designed to put pressure on European countries that support Ukraine in the war with Russia. Moscow announced a complete shutdown of the gas pipeline on the same day that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a plan to impose a ceiling on Russian gas prices.
