Germany's Wintershall Holding is ready to provide additional financing for construction of the Nord Stream-2 pipeline using an alternative route in case Copenhagen refuses to issue a permit, Wintershall board member Tilo Viland told Sputnik.

Viland said Wintershall would definitely support both alternative construction options.
