U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged European nations to oppose a new gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, warning that it risks undermining stability across the region.
Speaking to business leaders and diplomats in London as European regulators decide whether to approve the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, Johnson didn’t refer to the project by name but warned against over-dependence on Vladimir Putin’s Russia and said the U.K. “supports the sovereignty and integrity of Ukraine.”
