Novak reveals what pipeline can replace Nord Stream 2

The Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline may become an actual replacement for Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in an interview for the Rossiya-1 TV channel on Thursday.

"Well, in fact, yes," the Deputy Prime Minister said, responding to a question whether the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline could become a replacement for Nord Stream 2.

Novak recalled that the Power of Siberia 2 project is being discussed "for a capacity of 50 billion" cubic meters of gas.

Earlier on Thursday, Novak told reporters that Russia expects to reach final agreements with China on the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline in the near future.
