Well, the thing is that the German state never allowed NordStream2 to become legally active because of regulatory issues late in 2021/22 and has no part/ownership/financing in the project, so nothing to pull out of . There is nothing appearing in German media about this in the last two days, so I doubt that there has been any announcement : possibly the Kyiv Independent blowing things up (no pun ) ?
That apart, I have to say I have been wondering who will bear the costs/pay any compensation for the pipeline. It was financed by Gazprom and a few W European energy companies at a cost of approx E 10 Mrd and I do not recall reading any threats about lawsuits/compensation since things started to become tricky last November. Fairly unusual, wouldn't you say ?
