Vladimir Putin offers alternative to supply gas to Europe, here's latest update

To establish a European gas hub in Turkey, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moscow might divert supplies meant for the damaged Nord Stream pipelines to the Black Sea or even utilise the one unbroken section of Nord Stream 2 to serve the EU.

Vladimir Putin said gas pipelines that run along the bottom of the Baltic Sea might be repaired, but this would only make sense if they were further economically justified. Russian President Vladimir Putin also noted that the pipeline's security would need to be ensured.




Russia’s state-owned energy company, Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller has said that the pipes might be fixed, but the EU must decide whether it wants them fixed and guarantee their security.

Vladimir Putin also stated that his country is prepared to deliver higher volumes in the autumn-winter season to the 27-nation-bloc.

Miller stated that regarding the hub that there is no question that they can take into consideration the issue of a trading platform on the border of the European Union and Turkey.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the West to impose stricter sanctions following Putin's terror campaign on Kyiv and other cities as the war continues unabated.

The issue buds from the European Union's attempt to reduce its dependency on Russian gas and oil after Putin sent soldiers into Ukraine in February as part of what he refers to as a special military operation.

The notion was novel to the Turkish Energy Minister, who stated that it should be considered while addressing the same conference in Moscow.
