A Russian envoy said Russia and Germany could jointly reopen the Nord Stream pipeline, according to Russian state media, in remarks that also touched on the political landscape within Germany.
Kirill Dmitriev said Germany's Alternative for Germany party, known as AfD, represents the voice of the German people in advocating for German energy sovereignty, prosperity, peace and cooperation, according to the report.
The comments reflect Moscow's continued interest in restoring energy ties with Germany following the disruption of the Nord Stream pipelines, which have remained a point of geopolitical tension since they were damaged years earlier amid the war in Ukraine.
Dmitriev's remarks associating a specific German political party with Russia's energy interests are likely to draw scrutiny given AfD's contested standing within German and broader European politics, though no response from German officials was included in the available report.
