Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday that Germany would halt certification of the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline that would link his country with Russia, one of the strongest moves yet by the West to punish the Kremlin for recognizing two separatist regions in Ukraine.
The German leader’s announcement came hours after President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia ordered armed forces to the separatist regions, the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics.
Germany’s allies in Europe and the United States had been pressing Mr. Scholz for weeks to state publicly that the $11 billion pipeline, which was completed late last year and runs from Russia’s coast to northern Germany under the Baltic Sea, would be at risk of being blocked in the event of a Russian move against Ukraine.

Scholz (SPD) is as much as a dickwad as Merkel.
Merkel is so prim and proper as proper as she is svelte. She criticized Gerhard Schröder (SPD) for working for Gazprom ..., but Merkel thought sucking on Nordstream II was okay?
So Scholzy baby will decline new Russian gas. What do they have lined up after shuttering coal and nuke plants?
Has Scholzy baby rebuked Biden for killing the UAE-Israel-Cyprus pipeline?
