Gazprom is down too. Ukraine controls 50% of the Russian gas flow into Europe. 50% of the Russian budget is financed by oil and gas exports. A pipeline shutdown would immediately cut Russian income by 25%. That might leave a mark!

But Europe will never voluntarily cut off something like 40% of their natural gas supplies. That’s why Europe isn’t going to do anything about this.
