During a three-hour trip to Poland on Sunday, Germany’s new leader did not directly address what, if any, action his government would take against the pipeline as Russia masses troops on Ukraine’s border. “At this point, the pipeline can’t be certified because it doesn’t fulfil the requirements of European energy law — and security issues are still on the table,” Baerbock, whose Green party is a junior partner in Scholz’s government, told broadcaster ZDF.
In Warsaw, Scholz reinforced a pledge by his predecessor, Angela Merkel, that Germany would use its leverage to ensure that Russia extends its transit contract with Ukraine and help overhaul the East European country’s energy infrastructure.
