He supported the FDP parliamentary group's proposal for a moratorium on the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

This position resulted in criticism by fellow party members including Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann and Ria Schröder.
However, other party members such as Christian Linder and Nicola Beer defended Kubicki, who later wrote in a statement on social media that citizens "have the feeling that the state is allowing itself to be paraded - by the right and the left.
