Russia's Gazprom Tightens Squeeze on Gas Flow to Europe

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia tightened its gas squeeze on Europe on Monday as Gazprom said supplies through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany would drop to just 20% of capacity.

Gazprom said flows would fall to 33 million cubic metres per day from 0400 GMT on Wednesday - a halving of the current, already reduced level - because it needed to halt the operation of a Siemens gas turbine at a compressor station on instructions from an industry watchdog.

Germany said it saw no technical reason for the latest reduction, which comes as Russia and the West exchange economic blows in response to what Moscow calls its special military operation in Ukraine.

President Vladimir Putin had foreshadowed the latest cut, warning the West this month that continued sanctions risked triggering catastrophic energy price rises for consumers around the world.

Russia had already cut flows through Nord Stream 1 to 40% of capacity in June, citing the delayed return of a turbine that was being serviced by Siemens Energy in Canada - an explanation that Germany rejected as spurious.

Well, some video footage from Kadyrov’s guys , call it propaganda but live video gives one a dose of reality, note the video of Russian artillery taking out quite a few Ukies caught on tge plains.

Posted only to counter the corrupted western media’s claim the Ukies are winning, I support neither side, but am appalled at the western media’s distortions and lies….non westerm media and social posts paint a very, very different story- not by words- but video. Hard to argue with video.

I’d wonder if it will ever sink in to the Germans that it’s not going to get better as long as they enact sanctions?

The lesson to be learned from this? Don’t get into a slugfest with a man that can turn off you oxygen supply at will.

If you want to get more gas for Europe, just give rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) a hugh dinner of baked beans, put him on a plane to Moscow, and shove a Gazprom pipeline up his ass and open the valve.

Gas problem solved. !!!
