Russia today started filling the first of the two Nordstream pipelines. Operating pressure is expected to be achieved by October, official start of regular operations in November. The project picked up quite some speed over the past couple months, mostly to beat Nabucco.
The event today was celebrated with Putin and Schröder in attendance (the two politicians who launched the project), the opening in November on the German side will be attended by Medvedev and Merkel (the two politicians who have succeeded them).
Ukraine has already started whining about it again.
