KYIV. April 12 – Ukraine continues to fight trying to halt the construction of the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline, President Petro Poroshenko said.

"Nord Stream 2 is not a new [topic] in discussions between Ukraine and Germany, between Ukraine and the European Union. We firmly declare that we have not stopped our struggle to halt the construction of Nord Stream 2, by inviting German companies to participate in the management of the Ukrainian gas transportation system," Poroshenko said at a joint briefing with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.
