During the time of a meeting with Finnish premier Matti Vanhanen on 12 November of the year 2007, Russian premier Vladimir Putin for the first time publicly allowed the possibility of the abandonment of construction of the Nord Stream pipeline.

In the newspaper Kommersant is described in detail how specifically Putin spoke of this.

In particular, it is noted that Putin clarified that the company Nord Stream has spend over $100 mln on environmental research. (True, he was silent about how many million euros this company had spent on the creation of a positive image about itself and its project – G.P.).
