The United States has imposed additional sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, according to a message on the US State Department website.


As noted, the measures are extended to firms providing services or funds for the modernization or installation of equipment on ships for laying the gas pipeline.

The foreign ministry called on Russia to "stop using its energy resources for coercive purposes."

Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that Washington is working to create a coalition to prevent the completion of the SP-2.

The Kremlin, commenting on this statement, pointed to the US sanctions dependence.
