Conflicts over Nord Stream 2 reignite as Europe plans to sanction Russia over Navalny

Russia says it could sever ties with the EU if it continues with sanctions over the jailing of Alexei Navalny. Kremlin critic Navalny could face more jail time over a defamation case for describing a World War II veteran as a traitor. The charge carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison. The natural gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 that starts in Russia has become a center piece of international political conflict.
