Thus, the consumption of Russian gas in Europe as a result of the last September decreased from more than 40% to 8% and continues to decline, said during the online briefing the director of the Energy Research Center Alexander Kharchenko. "The consumption of Russian gas in Europe is rapidly falling towards zero. As a result of the last month, it has fallen from more than 40%in the European dimension, to less than 10%, almost 8%. And continues to decline," - said Alexander Kharchenko.

According to him, against the background of a decrease in demand for Russian blue fuel in Europe, in Moscow it is unlikely "I have very sad predictions for Russia about gas volumes that they will be able to supply to the European and world markets, after Europe is completely replacing Russian supplies. Russia is sitting on this gas and no longer," - said Alexander Kharchenko. Meanwhile, according to TTF gas hub data in the Netherlands, the cost of natural gas in Europe has dropped below $ 1.

According to Bloomberg, one of the reasons for the decrease in prices is the filling of European gas storage facilities by more than 90%.
