“Gas supplies to Germany through the first Nord Stream are again limited and absurd statements are again heard that something can be compensated for through Nord Stream 2. Russia needs these “flows” solely to supply problems to Europe, and not to help someone there with gas. Now it is absolutely obvious,” the President said.

Zelenskyy stressed that the longer the terrorist state remains in the European and world energy market, the longer there will be no stability on it. The Head of State also noted that if “Europe prepares its energy systems for existence without any energy supplies from Russia at all, they will quickly be able to survive any winters”.
