KYIV, Nov 22 – Ukraine and partners insist on the full compliance with Nord Stream 2 with both the spirit and the letter of the EU Third Energy Package, despite the efforts of Russian lobbyists and lawyers to create an exception for the pipeline, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.

"Ukraine, as well as a number of EU member states and the European Commission, insist on the full compliance with Nord Stream 2 with both the spirit and the letter of the EU Third Energy Package. We are working to prevent Russia from turning Nord Stream 2 into a northern weapon," he said on Ukraine 24 TV channel on Sunday.
