US sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project violate international law, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said in response to a media question.

"From the very beginning, Washington strove to prevent the development of normal energy cooperation between Russia and Europe. The unilateral actions of the Americans against the project violate international law and contradict the principle of free market relations. This is nothing more than an attempt to gain a competitive advantage for its fuel and technology suppliers," he pointed out.
