The completion of the project would be ``stretched`` by several months because of the sanctions.

With around 160 kilometers left. the pipeline is designed to transport natural gas from Russia to Germany through the Baltic Sea.

Russia is expecting the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to be completed very soon in spite of the obstacles.

The Nord Stream 2 pipeline was initially slated for completion in early 2020 with a view to being operational in mid-2020.

Europe is Russia'.s main customer for natural gas and critics fear the pipeline.

The construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline will be completed despite the threat of US sanctions because European nations have a clear economic interest in the project. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

Russia will continue to implement its economic projects despite sanctions. the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement regarding US sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 and TurkStream gas pipelines.

The German government rejects such extraterritorial sanctions.

The U.S. sanctions over the pipeline would affect bilateral relations between Moscow and Washington.

US lawmakers fear the pipeline. which is 80 percent finished. would bring Russia billions of dollars and increase Russian influence in Europe.
