...this was the old pipeline that carried nat gas from russia to germany but went thru the ukraine. Nordstrom 2 bypasses the Ukraine. It was called the Bratstvo pipeline.
...The laying of Nord Stream 2 was carried out in 2018–2021. The first line of Nord Stream 2 was completed in June 2021, and the second line was completed in September 2021. Nord Stream 1 gave Nord Stream a total annual capacity of 55 billion m 3 (1.9 trillion cu ft) of gas, and the construction of Nord Stream 2 would double this.
