Russia has announced its readiness to restart the supply of natural gas to Europe through the Yamal-Europe pipeline. The pipeline had been shut down due to political reasons, but according to Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, the country is now prepared to resume gas shipments to Europe through this route. Novak made this announcement in an interview with the Russian state news agency TASS on Sunday.
According to Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, there has been an increase in demand for natural gas from Europe. Novak made this statement in an interview with Russian state news agency TASS. Russia has been involved in an energy dispute with Europe since it invaded Ukraine in February. In May, Gazprom, a Russian state-owned gas company, ceased its gas supply through the Yamal-Europe pipeline, which runs through Poland, and stopped sending gas to a distributor in Germany. The suspension of these supplies was reportedly due to sanctions on EuRoPol GAZ, the parent company of Gazprom. This occurred only 44 hours after Ukraine reduced the flow of natural gas across its territory into Europe, citing interference by Russian troops.
