The '''Nord Stream II''' pipeline is a joint [[Russia]]-[[German]] project to build a gas pipeline directly between Russia and Germany beneath the [[Baltic Sea]] to avoid disruption of service in the event that Russia cuts off gas supplies to [[Ukraine]].  It was begun in response to the [[Magnitsky Act]] sanctions after the [[Crimean Annexation]] in 2014.  The project was being built by [[Gazprom]].
