Pyatt Moves To Cut TurkStream Pipeline

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Energy Resources Assistant Secretary Geoffrey Pyatt (who in 2014 was U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine) will travel to Turkey, Romania, and Bulgaria on Oct. 10-14 to discuss energy, including efforts “to reduce Europe’s dependence” on Russian energy resources, the U.S. Department of State said in a press release yesterday. The TurkStream pipeline connects Russia and Turkey and then Bulgaria and is currently operating at full capacity, so one may assume that Pyatt is moving to sabotage this pipeline as well.
