The German government has no plans to restart the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said, reaffirming Berlin's position that it does not intend to return to energy dependence on Russia.
Wadephul's comments address recurring speculation about whether Germany might eventually resume use of the pipelines, which have been at the center of the broader rupture in energy relations between Russia and Western Europe.
Energy policy realignment
Since the disruption of Russian gas supplies, Germany has worked to diversify its energy sources, including expanding imports of liquefied natural gas and increasing investment in renewable infrastructure, as part of a broader European effort to reduce reliance on Russian energy.
Wadephul's statement signals that, from the German government's perspective, the shift away from Russian energy sources is intended to be permanent rather than a temporary response to current circumstances.
The remarks come amid continued discussion in Europe over the future of energy security and the region's relationship with Russia.
