Russia has now reversed gas flows on a key pipeline that supplies Europe with much of its energy.

As The Daily Wire reports:

Part of a key pipeline transporting natural gas from Russia to Europe suddenly reversed its flow direction Tuesday, Reuters reported.

The pipeline is operated by the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom and is one of three routes the company uses to export natural gas to western Europe. The Yamal-Europe pipeline is responsible for 10% of the region’s natural gas supplies, meaning a substantial flow shift could lead to much higher energy prices for many European consumers.

Overall, Russia is responsible for approximately 47% of European gas imports, the most recent Eurostat data showed.

“If Russia stops the gas supply to Europe, it could have a seismic impact on European energy,” International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol told the Guardian in an interview last month. “(Russia) has to consider the consequences if existing oil and gas supplies to Europe are halted.”

The European Union had previously vowed to reduce its reliance on Russian gas by up to 65% by 2023 before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

  1. Simple case of tit for tat . Putin is just playing the game. Russia was ready for sanctions, NATO and Allies were not….
    Russia has NATO and US funded bio-labs in their pocket now and Biden is scared shitless. Possibly literally…. Phony shellings,false flag events,many more to come.Now China is involved, claims they have NSA spy intel… The game is about to get really interesting and fast. Hold on to your white hats, turn off MSM,black hat propaganda…. GOD BLESS !

  2. The U.S. has the ability to export LPG to Europe, IF we still have enough operating wells to furnish the supply. The current regimes “war on fossil energy” may be a roadblock to producing an exportable quantity though. In fact, part of our Northeast is importing LPG from South America via ship because politics has blocked the construction of a short, about 200 mile long gas pipeline to the region. It looks like Washington played right into a situation Putin saw and is now set to benefit from.

  3. Is this really a surprise? Europe should be the first to Act, this is on the continent of Europe, a direct threat to the rest of Europe, right at its doorstep. They have to wait until article 5 is violated to act.? Wasn’t NATO in Afghanistan, not being prevent by article 5. Didn’t they participate in both of the Persian Gulf Wars? Are we to understand that any country that threatens the use of nuclear weapons, is all it takes for everyone to fold up and quit? We are still waiting to find out why stinger missiles, and javelin missiles are OK to ship in without pissing off the Russians, but planes, and Ukraine has the piolets to use, will really upset them, do the Russians have bad piolets? None of the Actions by Europe or the United States makes any sense at all, right along with not going full speed ahead to produce our own oil. It is not the oil companies, it is this Administration, there is something Evil behind all this.

  4. Give the Polish jets to Ukraine and let them take the war to Russian cities!

    Also use these jets to blow up the pipelines running through Ukraine!

    1. Biden is more afraid of the Tree Huggers who vote than he is Puttin. That’s why the oil isn’t flowing in America. Biden and the oil industry is artificially escalating the cost of fuel for the benefit of filling their own bank accounts.

  5. I thought there was an objective to prevent Russia from selling gas to the EU countries anyway. Most of the reason is that they spend much of their money on military equipment.

  6. LISTEN UP….PUTIN is WORSE than a MONSTER. HE is GUILTY of WAR CRIMES and HATE CRIMES. HE is KILLING PREGNANT WOM EN….HIS Own RACE….OTHER RACES of PEOPLE. HE Needs to be STOPPED. From SamuraiQueen. 😤😤😤😡😡😡

    1. Putin never wanted to start – BLAME BIDEN FOR THIS!!

      The Biden Family cartel has plenty of dirty laundry hanging in Ukraine. How better to destroy it than with a war? Biden insisted Ukraine join NATO, knowing Putin would attack.

  7. Putin’s six demands to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine…………………………………………………………..
    1# NO NATO membership and a neutral position…WHY ?….After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and German reunification, NATO’s purpose had to be reviewed. At a meeting in Moscow on 9 February 1990, US Secretary of State James Baker assured Gorbachev that NATO’s forces “would not expand an inch eastward” or act as a threat to Russia or the newly independent, former Soviet states. The USA LIED just nine years after that meeting, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary – three former members of the Warsaw Pact, were accepted as members of NATO. As far as Moscow was concerned, NATO and the US had broken their promise.
    2# Russian should be the second official language of Ukraine, with laws prohibiting it BEING abolished. WHY ?(Zelensky pass a law that Russian will not be spoken in Ukraine) Donetsk and Lugansk. These province’s mostly Russian… 90% speak Russian only another reason why Donetsk and Lugansk. Wanted to secede from Ukraine also because Ukraine was the most corrupt nation in the world ….Zelenski sent the ultra-nationalist parties or real Nazi’s and his military to stop this sedition a civil war broke out .. Donetsk and Lugansk. Begged Putin to intervene
    3# Recognize Crimea as Russian territory. WHY ? ( It was a present given to Ukraine In 1954, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gave Ukraine a gift:( Crimea.)….they want it back… Gifted” because Khrushchev’s transfer was ostensibly to mark the 300th anniversary of Ukraine’s merger with the Russian empire. And he probably didn’t think the Soviet Union would be gone less than 40 years later. it Was always Russian territory and Russian speaking
    4#Recognize the independence of Donetsk and Lugansk. WHY ?..These mostly Russian speaking two provinces wanted to secede from Ukraine they begged Putin to intervene in the civil war because they were Russians and they were getting slaughter by Zelensky ‘s army and the neo-Nazi ultra-nationalist parties wanted to get away from the corruption of Ukraine
    5 #Demilitarization of Ukraine and abandonment of weapons that could be a threat to the Kremlin WHY ?. this is a given What if the Russian put atomic missile back in Cuba…what would USA DO ?
    6# Banning of ultra-nationalist parties and organizations in Ukraine (. THE NEO NAZI’S GROUP) good idea everyone would agree with this one
    DOESN’T SOUND LIKE A GUY LOOKING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD TO ME

  8. No worries Europe. We will send John Kerry over there ON HIS PRIVATE JET so he can explain how green energy will save you all.
