Gazprom began to reduce gas supplies to Europe not recently, but since last year, the head of the EC noted.
So far, 12 EU countries have been completely or partially cut off by Russia from gas supplies, European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday, June 24th.

“We see a picture not only for the last week and month, but also for the whole last year. When you look at the filling or, better to say, the non -filling of Gazprom’s storage facilities. Since last year year is a 10 The low year has been reached in terms of filling gas storage facilities.And of course, it must be said that so far 12 EU member states have been completely cut off from Russia’s gas, or partially, “aniya.
Von der Leyen added that the EU is now “hoping for the best and preparing for the worst” in terms of energy.
At a meeting of the European Council, the heads of EU countries instructed the European Commission to work on an urgent search for cheap energy sources to get rid of hope in the Russian Federation.
“In a situation where Russia is using gas as a weapon, the European Council has called on the European Commission to continue its efforts to immediately seek energy sources at affordable prices,” the statement said.
Summit participants also called for “taking steps aimed at closer coordination in the energy sector between EU members.”
Last week, Gazprom cut gas supplies through Nord Stream 1 by 60%. As a result, the price of gas in Europe exceeds $ 1,500 per thousand cubic meters.
The Turkish Stream gas pipeline also stopped operating for a week.
At the same time, Gazprom could use the free capacity of the Ukrainian GTS and the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline, but it does not, creating a gas crisis in Europe.
