Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said his bill sanctioning entities involved in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is the best way to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine. He said Russia wants the pipeline to be completed so it can use it as a cudgel against Europe and “wipe Ukraine off the map.” He said the only reason Russia did not take over all of Ukraine when it invaded Crimea in 2014 was because it wanted to build the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. He said his bill would not hurt transatlantic relations because the European Parliament voted 581-50 to oppose the pipeline. close
