Addressing an economic forum in St. Petersburg on June 4, Putin also said that "work on the second line is continuing."

Thats so why so many are fleeing? lol

Well, this was all hatched with Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, and Joe Biden as VP. The energy pipeline to Europe went through Ukraine. Remember Victoria Nuland giving snacks out to the members of the Ukraine protests? And next the revolution?
So Russia decided to make the delivery another way.

Nuland was the lead U.S. point person for the Ukrainian crisis, establishing loan guarantees to Ukraine,
Biden always has a point person for his dots all over the world.
