Pakistan's changes in structure of gas pipeline project disappoint Russians

Pakistan's continuous changes to the structure of the Pakistan Stream Gas Pipeline project and lack of progress on a commercial deal due to US sanctions on Russian entities have disappointed Moscow. The project, aimed at overcoming gas shortages in Punjab, has faced delays and complications. Despite multiple revisions to the project's structure, no agreement has been reached. Factors contributing to the delays include the involvement of various stakeholders and the interference of businessmen and industrialists. The Russians have grown frustrated and refused to discuss the project.
