Ukraine Angered after Denmark Granted Russia Permit to Construct Pipeline to Germany
Ukraine has criticized the decision by Denmark
to approve the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that is expected to
increase the amount of gas pumped into Europe.
On Wednesday, the Danish government granted
Russia a permit to construct the pipeline near the Baltic island of Bornholm.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky warned
that the move will strengthen Russia’s influence in the region. “This is
not only a matter of energy security, it is a geopolitical issue,” he
said.
The 1,225km (760-mile) pipeline, owned by
Russia’s Gazprom, will run under the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.
The project has generated mixed reactions from
world leaders. The US expressed fears that the pipeline will increase Russian
influence in Europe. US President Donald Trump said the pipeline could turn
Germany into a hostage of Russia.
Wrongful death and personal injury attorney Arin Khodaverdian, President and Managing Partner of Alpine Law Group, urges accidents victims and their families to immediately seek legal assistance. “Those who are affected by tragedy have rights, but they must act quickly in order to preserve those rights to the full extent of the law. Often, swift action by an experienced attorney is imperative in order to preserve evidence, interview witnesses and immediately begin pursuing any and all responsible parties.”
While Mr. Khodaverdian does not represent any of the parties involved in this incident, he has recovered over $100 million for thousands of injury victims and their families. “In one case, we were able to recover a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim killed by a negligent driver. While this result is atypical and does not predict future outcomes, justice in this case help bring about closure and a swift sense of justice for the family.”
Mr. Khodaverdian, a contributor to this site, is available for free consultations 24/7 by calling 800-984-4123.
