Compared to the summer of 2021, the volume of gas supplies from Russia to Europe has been reduced by half. It is possible that the indicators may continue to decline, said Kadri Simson, a member of the European Energy Commission during the EU meeting at the level of ministers of energy, transport and telecommunications.
“gas supplies from Russia now amount to half of the volumes that we received at the same time last year. They can continue to contract. With regard to gas supply, the EU is ready for any development of events,” it quotes it Interfax.
In addition, she noted that the ministers will be provided with specific steps that can help EU countries prepare to reduce Russian gas supplies. One of these steps is the coordination of a reduction in gas demand.
