No, really?

Who could have seen this coming back in the Spring when the upcoming weather was warm?

No one should be surprised. Young people who don’t know about it should read up on how the Russians starved the Ukrainians. The hate and cruelty Russians will inflict on peaceful neighbors is not new and certainly not something they’re willing to admit or to stop.

If you look into it you'll find that they're reducing NG supplies by the amount any given country has been reselling to Ukraine plus the amount they typically build their stockpiles with. The goal is for Ukraine to either pay up what they owe and start paying for their NG or do without Russian NG instead of having their NG supplied by other countries purchasing more and then sending it to Ukraine.

Countries that build up stockpiles and sell them off to others aren't going to make the extra money they've been making by rerouting NG to Ukraine and others, that's the real end result.

Russia needs to pay for the theft of Crimea, and the damage it has caused in E. Ukraine.

Russia owes a lot.

Know will be more expensive and infrastructure is not in place but isn’t russia cutting off their nose regarding income from gas? Free Market to take up slack? As am suggesting will be more expensive but people do want to stay warm so will not the markets of Poland, Ukraine, Europe prepare to keep their people warm this winter or is the whole planet broke and no nation truly has any money? All these nations need is to go to work (is my opinion) and the bear called russia can be told to eat their gas. Is this not possible for the coming winter?

This is odd.

Russian gas producer Gazprom says Poland is receiving the same amount of gas that it had received in recent days, in response to charges from Warsaw that deliveries had fallen off 20 percent - @Reuters
