This image is a map of Europe, featuring a prominent display of various gas pipelines, notably highlighting the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that extends from Russia to Germany.
Other pipelines leading to other different countries are present. Countries such as Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey. These pipelines are in the same orange color but less thick and not labeled as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, to make this one stand out in the story.
The pipelines have arrows on the left side, indicating the way in which they go (from right to left).
Surrounding countries, including Poland, Belarus, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Moldova have also been marked, with Ukraine and Russia in bold. Stars are added to the labels Minsk, Moscow and Kyiv to mark that these are the capitals of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.
