PARIS (Reuters) – The issue of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, directly linking Russia to Germany, is one of the key topics in talks aimed at easing the crisis with Russia on Ukraine, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told France Inter radio on Tuesday.
Le Maire in the interview also said that Europe needed to become independent when it comes to its energy supply to be in a position to face Russia.
