Putin ready to resume Russian gas deliveries to Europe
Moscow is prepared to continue gas supplies to Europe through Ukraine after the current transit agreement expires at the end of the year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in Vladivostok on Thursday.
"We and the Gazprom company want to meet our obligations with respect to our clients, with whom there are long-term contracts," Putin told a plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum in the city on Russia's Pacific coast.
He noted that Russia was not in a position to compel Ukraine to extend the transit agreement and that European countries, who could exert pressure on Kiev, were showing little interest.
In addition, he said that Poland had shut down the Yamal pipeline carrying gas through Belarus to Poland and Germany and that Germany had not connected up to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline under the Baltic Sea.
In fact, it was Russia that shut down deliveries through the Yamal pipeline in May 2022 ..
