Novak: Repairing the infrastructure in the North Stream is possible, but it takes time and money

Moscow (ST): Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stressed that the damage to the infrastructure of the North Stream gas pipeline that transports Russian gas to Europe can be repaired, but that it takes time and money.
TASS news agency quoted Novak as saying today: “Certainly, there are technical possibilities to repair the infrastructure in the North Stream, but it takes a lot of time and money.”
Novak added that the United States, Ukraine and Poland have declared in the past that this infrastructure  will not work and that they will do everything for this, and therefore we must seriously consider this matter, as they may have an interest in disrupting this line.
Nord Stream AG, the operator of the two North Stream lines, announced that it is planned to start assessing the damage after receiving official permits, while access to the required area can only be allowed after the pressure in the infrastructure has stabilized and the leak has stopped.
