The interlocutors noted that gas pipeline sanctions should discuss the Greater Seven Summit (G7) at the future. Officials consider measures that will prohibit countries such as Germany and Poland to restore gas imports from Russia. There is still no consensus in the European Union. The main opponents of such sanctions are Germany and Italy, the sources said. "Too much resistance to the countries that depend on this gas.
In the 11th package of sanctions, which is almost ready, there is no introduction of this event," one of the diplomats explained. To the full -scale invasion of Ukraine, Moscow supplied more than 40% of gas. According to Bruegel Analytical Center, it has now fallen up to 8%. On the two largest pre -war routes - the submarine pipeline "Nord Stream" to Germany and the Yamal gas pipeline through Poland, the streams fell to zero.
Pipeline transit through Ukraine is about a quarter of the pre -war level and only the Turkish Stream through the Black Sea works at an invasion. The European Commission has refused to comment on sanctions against Russian gas pipelines. It should be noted that the Kremlin began to lose oil and gas income due to the actions of international sanctions from January to April 2023, Russia lost 52% of income, said in the Ministry of Finance.
