Quote from Podolyak: "The large-scale ‘gas leak’ from Nord Stream-1 –  is nothing more than a terrorist attack planned by Russia and an act of aggression towards the EU. Russia wants to destabilise the economic situation in Europe and cause panic before winter."

Details: Podolyak added that the best response to Russia and investment in security is to provide tanks for Ukraine, in particular German ones.
