Spiegel: NATO will build military pipelines in Germany in case of conflict with Russia

The German newspaper Spiegel claims that NATO wants to upgrade the pipeline infrastructure since the Cold War from Lower Saxony to Poland and from Bavaria to the Czech Republic to effectively supply troops in Eastern Europe. Poland and the Czech Republic will build new pipelines to supply fuel to the German military, which are planned to be deployed in Lithuania. According to the publication, NATO intends to integrate the new infrastructure with the existing pipelines of Northern and Central Europe NEPS and CEPS. The cost of the German part is about 1.7 billion euros, and the total cost of the entire project, which will take at least 20 years, is 21 billion euros. Spiegel also notes that the NATO Council would like to agree on the construction of pipelines by the summer, but possible changes in funding due to the election of US President Donald Trump are of concern. On January 13, Vladislav Maslennikov, Director of the Department of European Affairs of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that relations between Russia and NATO have reached the lowest level since the end of the Cold War. Maslennikov stressed that the alliance actively opposes Russia and restrains, in their opinion, the “threats” emanating from our country, which covers all areas and areas.
