UKRAINE WAR : RUSSIA WILL KEEP VITAL GAS PIPELINE TO EU SHUT

  • 03/09/2022

Concerns about energy supplies this winter have increased as a result of Russia's main gas pipeline to Europe not reopening as scheduled on Saturday.

The Nord Stream 1 pipeline may be permanently shut down after the state-owned energy company Gazprom reported discovering a leak.

Germany-bound pipeline has been closed for three days for what Gazprom referred to as maintenance work.

In the midst of the conflict in Ukraine, Europe accused Russia of using its gas supplies to threaten Europe. Moscow denies this accusation.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, energy prices have increased sharply, and dwindling supplies could cause prices to rise even higher.

Families in the EU are worried that they won't be able to afford the cost of heating this winter.
