Russia will finish the construction of Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline on its own since there are no technological obstacles requiring foreign assistance, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said in his interview with "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" program on Rossiya-1 TV channel.

"Technological risks today are solved by our facilities and that’s why Nord Stream 2 will be completed. This will take a little longer but we don’t have technological obstacles to do this on our own," Miller said.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said after talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel that he had no doubt that Russia would be able to finish Nord Stream 2 construction on its own. The Russian leader noted that Russia highly appreciated Germany’s position on supporting the project.
