President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called on Europe on Monday, July 25.take revenge“to”gas warLed by Russia, tightening European sanctions against Moscow.
“Today we heard about new gas threats to Europe. Despite the “North Stream” turbine concession, Russia will not resume gas supplies to European countries, as it is obliged to do under the contract.said Vladimir Zelensky in his daily video message, commenting on Gazprom’s statement about another drastic reduction in gas supplies to Europe.

Since then, Germany and Canada have agreed to return the equipment to Russia, but the turbine has not yet been delivered. “It is an open gas war that Russia is waging against united Europe. They don’t care what happens to people, how they suffer from hunger, winter cold and poverty due to closed ports… or occupation? It’s just different forms of terrorism“, the President of Ukraine stated. “That’s why you have to fight back. Don’t think about how to bring back the turbine, but strengthen the sanctions“, he concluded.
The West accuses Moscow of using energy weapons in response to sanctions imposed after the attack on Ukraine. The Nord Stream gas pipeline, which connects Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea, is strategically important for supplying gas to Europeans, who are heavily dependent on Russian energy resources.
