New trouble over Nord Stream 2: Union attacks Pistorius. In the Nord Stream2 context, Russia is said to be trying to obtain NATO information.

Defense Minister Pistorius has been criticized. Thorsten Frei, the parliamentary manager of the CDU/CSU MPs, complained in a letter to the minister that the response to a query regarding the possible disclosure of Bundeswehr secrets was inadequate. Frei calls on Pistorius to answer the Union faction's questions immediately, otherwise he will threaten legal action before the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe.
