Sanctions against those involved in the construction of the North Stream-2 gas pipeline will not benefit the United States.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from Russia's ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, commenting on the US sanctions against the Fortuna ship, which has completed the construction of the pipeline.

According to him, Washington has long been trying to prevent the implementation of this project by all means:

"There are constant threats against European partners interested in cooperation in the Russian and gas sectors. The United States has gone beyond ethics to achieve its goal."
