Russia switches off Europe’s main gas line until sanctions are lifted
Financial Times ^ | 9/5/2022 | Max Seddon

Russia’s gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline will not resume in full until the “collective west” lifts sanctions against Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin has said.

Dmitry Peskov, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, blamed EU, UK, and Canadian sanctions for Russia’s failure to deliver gas through the key pipeline, which delivers gas to Germany from St Petersburg via the Baltic sea.

“The problems pumping gas came about because of the sanctions western countries introduced against our country and several companies,” Peskov said, according to the Interfax news agency. “There are no other reasons that could have caused this pumping problem.”

Peskov’s comments were the most stark demand yet by the Kremlin that the EU roll back its sanctions in exchange for Russia resuming gas deliveries to the continent.

Putin blinked by pulling this stunt in September instead of December. He’s panicking and pulled the trigger too early.

I thought Europe had green energy. Windmills, solar etc. They’ve been working on it for 50 years. They hate fossil fuels because of climate change.

So why do they need Russian Gas?

They have failed and the protests and the EU media is slowly acknowledging such, as pointed out and illustrated by Larry Johnson, but yeah, I know your Nazi supporting ilk can’t read anything, let alone read anything outside your standard daily briefing room talking points issued via the Ministry of Truth you stray from daily. Bet.

When Putin says “the sanctions aren’t working” it really means “the sanctions ARE working.” Stronk genius, your Putin.
