Polish ambassador hits German foundation

Polish Ambassador in Germany Jacek Przyłębski criticized Nord Stream 2 project foundation called Stiftung Klimaschutz which was created by Mecklemburg-Vorpommern land in cooperation with Russian Gazprom.

According to Polish diplomat this foundation hits European solidarity and Nord Stream 2 project is a threat to whole Europe as it might serve Russia as a tool of coercion in gas market.

Nord Stream 2 foundation could be used to save this project from U.S. sanctions as they can not target any state entity in European Union and Stiftung Klimaschutz is a land-controlled entity formally.
