Germany welcomes US sanctions U-turn on Russia gas pipeline

They have argued that it threatens European energy security and hurts allies such as Poland and Ukraine because it bypasses their territory. American news site Axios reported Tuesday that the U.S. State Department’s latest regular report to Congress will list sanctions for several Russian ships but not the company running the project, Nord Stream 2 AG, or its chief executive.
