Germany halted the certification of the controversial Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline Tuesday after Russia recognized two separatist-held regions of Ukraine as independent states and dispatched “peacekeeping” forces to the region.German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described Monday’s announcement by Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “serious break of international law.”“Now it’s up to the international community to react to this one-sided, incomprehensible and unjustified action by the Russian president,” Scholz said, adding that Berlin needed to “send a clear signal to Moscow that such actions won’t remain without consequences.”
