Putin blames Nord Stream blasts for disruption of Russia-Germany relations
Monday, 4 December 2023 Putin discussed disrupted cooperation between Moscow and Berlin due to the blasts in September 2022 that affected the Nord Stream pipelines. He mentioned this during a ceremony in the Kremlin while accepting new foreign ambassadors. Putin emphasized that the current frozen state of relations is unprofitable for both countries, especially Germany. He highlighted that energy cooperation was disrupted by the sabotage on the Nord Stream pipelines. Russia has accused the United States, Britain, and Ukraine of the pipeline blasts, but they have all denied any involvement. Putin also expressed hope for improved relations between Moscow and London.
Russian lawmakers set the 2024 presidential election for March 17, edging Putin closer to a potential fifth term. Amid limited rivals due to bans and imprisonment, his victory seems assured. Challengers face stringent signature requirements without party support.
