据外媒6月17日报道，俄罗斯总统普京周五表示，在“南溪”(South Stream)项目被取消之后，俄罗斯仍然希望建设一条新的通往欧洲南部的输气管道。
普京称，波罗的海“北溪”管道的扩建，并不能代替被取消的“南溪”线路。他还表示，俄罗斯并不是要彻底放弃通过乌克兰向欧洲出口天然气，但拥有可替代的线路也是至关重要的。

Russia hasn't dropped idea of new gas route to south Europe: Putin
Russia still wants a new pipeline route to export gas to southern Europe despite the cancellation of the South Stream gas project, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday.
Putin said the expansion of the Nord Stream pipeline, under the Baltic Sea, was not an alternative to the canceled South Stream route.
He also said Russia was not turning its back on exporting gas to Europe via Ukraine, but that it was vital there were alternative routes too.
