Putin: Moscow could halt gas to EU
According to the statement of the President of the Russian Federation
Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow could halt gas supplies to the European Union without waiting for the deadlines set by Brussels. According to him, Russian authorities are ready to make such a decision and can stop supplies 'at any moment'.
The secretary of Russia's energy committee emphasized that this decision appears absurd for suppliers, but did not rule out existing obligations. The deadlines set by Brussels are intended to ensure supply reliability, yet Putin noted that Russia could act differently.
This stance has caused concern among European countries, which are actively counting on measures to ensure energy security, as well as on a robust gas market.
Context
In March 2024, Brussels established deadlines for Russian gas deliveries to EU importing countries.
In Moscow, the planning of halting gas supplies to the EU has been declared as possible "at any moment" by Putin's statement, causing international concern.
