The United States’ sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline are an uncovered cowboy attack or a hostile takeover, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" program on Rossiya-1 TV channel, TASS reports.
"This is an absolutely uncovered cowboy attack or a hostile takeover. <...> How else could this be called?" Peskov said commenting on the sanctions against Nord Stream 2.
Peskov stressed that the work on the gas pipeline was underway and this project was about to be completed.
He also noted that Russia lived in "an unfriendly and even hostile environment" and the entire outgoing year the country had to face "new and new so-called sanctions."
