A possible Russian offensive against Ukraine will basically prevent Germany from maintaining its current position on Nord Stream 2, Daniel Fried, former US ambassador to Poland under Clinton, told EURACTIV Poland in an interview.
“A Russian military offensive against Ukraine would make it even more difficult for Germany to maintain its current position,” he said, adding that the best short-term solution is the suspension of work – or a moratorium – on the project by Germany and the suspension of sanctions by the US. More

Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin has warned against presenting every Brexit issue “as a zero-sum, win-lose fight”.
Speaking at the annual Fianna Fáil 1916 Rising commemoration at Arbour Hill in Dublin, Martin also described the Northern Ireland Protocol as “a fair conclusion to attempts to limit the potential destructiveness of Brexit on this island,” despite Unionist tensions in Northern Ireland over the last few weeks.
The protocol is “complex, but it is nowhere near as complex as it is presented, said the prime minister, adding that “it is not as complex as the thousands of Brexit issues remaining in relation to trade and other contacts between Great Britain and the European Union”.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said she was “sorry” the IRA killed Lord Mountbatten in 1979, a day after the funeral of Lord Mountbatten’s nephew, Prince Phillip.
“The [British] army … carried out many, many violent actions on our island. And I can say, of course, I am sorry that that happened,” McDonald told Britain’s Times Radio when she was asked if she would personally apologise to Prince Charles for the attack.
“Of course, that is heartbreaking. My job, and I think that Prince Charles and others would absolutely appreciate this, my job is to lead from the front, now, in these times. I have an absolute commitment and responsibility to make sure that no family faces that again. And I am happy to reiterate that on the weekend that your queen buried her beloved husband,” she added.
