US sanctions won't hamper Nord Stream-2 project implementation

New US sanctions will not prevent the implementation of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline project, Gazprom's Chief Financial Officer Alexander Ivannikov said Wednesday, Sputnik reports.

"We and our partners in the project are trying to clarify the essence [of new US sanctions]. It is such a vague bill that at the moment even the Western law firms can not give a clear answer to the question of what can and can not be done," Ivannikov said in a conference call.

"According to preliminary estimates, this in no way reduces the possibility of borrowing, in general, by Gazprom on foreign markets," Ivannikov added.
