Sergei Serdyukov also said that Russia has an alternative route for the pipeline under the Baltic Sea bed if Denmark blocks the construction in its territorial waters.
The US sanctions over Moscow’s alleged interference with the 2016 presidential elections as well over its role in the Ukraine’s crisis limits western fundraising for the Russian companies.
