Summary/Abstract: The controversies surrounding Nord Stream 2 (NS2) since the beginning of the investment have not been addressed and some of them have grown even stronger. Russia has not given up its aggressive foreign policy, and despite that, the German authorities are advocating NS2 and support closer cooperation with Russia, for example, on climate change. This raises concerns about the consequences of Russo-German NS2 cooperation for long-term EU decarbonisation policy, as well as for EU and NATO cohesion. These issues and common policy on Russia should be the subject of open debate between the allies.
