KYIV, June 30 – The economic risks of completing the construction of Nord Stream 2 will be discussed during the visit of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky to Germany on July 12, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs Pavlo Klimkin said.

"The EU and its key players, in particular Germany, are ready to discuss economic risks, and this will happen during Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Merkel on July 12. The Germans are preparing for this. Moreover, discussions are taking place within the framework of the future coalition agreement. Unlike us, everyone there has a strategic vision and everyone has already prepared their pieces of the coalition agreement [...] And our task is, firstly, to get concrete guarantees, and not some abstract assurances. In the meantime, everything leans more towards assurances and compensation for a certain period," Klimkin said at a press briefing on the topic: "Nord Stream 2: Reality Check, is There Life after Death? " in Kyiv on Wednesday.
