Germany, so far, seems to be leaning towards a non-active mediator role actually. In particular with regard to the Baltics and Sweden, with Poland Germany itself has some problems.

The current climate gives Germany the opportunity to actually criticize Putin without repercussions even, and the government has had that done by lower-level officials.

I've got the feeling that the tension is mostly heated up locally, in particular in Estonia (anti-Russian in general), in Sweden ("oh my god Russian spies in front of our coasts, we need more money for the Navy like right now!"), and in Poland ("this is the new Hitler-Stalin-Pact" - yes, they've actually said that).

The Lithuanian government thinks "negatively" of the project. Haven't heard anything at all from Latvia, which is somewhat remarkable - but note how it's in line with what i said above about participation in that maneuver. Finland is simply shutting up and playing along with everything.

Belarus is majorly against the pipeline as it would replace their role as transit country. Poland and Lithuania are really opposed for the same reason. Both are transit countries for the current land-based pipelines.

The other major powers in the area (France, Italy) are not saying much because they actually benefit if the pipeline is built - everyone in Europe imports from Russia, more or less. The UK seems to be going along the lines of "continental issue, doesn't bother us" so far.
