Could Germany return to Russian gas via Nord Stream? DW 04/25/2025
Briefly

As the war in Ukraine approaches its fourth year, the notion of resuming Russian gas supplies to the EU through Germany is gaining traction. Recent dialogues suggest Russian President Putin may halt hostilities along the current front lines. This has led to renewed interest among German political leaders, particularly from the CDU, in repairing the damaged Nord Stream pipelines. Reports indicate both the US and Russia are advocating for a deal, with US investors eyeing a potential acquisition of Nord Stream 2 AG despite its previous inoperability since completion in 2021.
Both the US and Russia have shown interest in a deal to resume gas flow through the Nord Stream pipelines, igniting discussions of energy supply's future.
