Russian company Gazprom starts supplying gas to European countries.
According to Alexey Miller, the CEO of Gazprom, due to the announcement of additional non-working days in Russia, it was decided to continue loading more than planned until November 7.
Gas prices in Europe have risen sharply in recent months. As early as the beginning of August, a thousand cubic meters of gas was traded at $ 515 per thousand cubic meters at the TTF hub in the Netherlands, a figure that doubled by the end of September.
According to the Financial Times, one of the reasons for the increase in gas prices was the fact that Gazprom refused to supply additional volumes through Ukraine, which was aimed at increasing exports to Europe.
According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Gazprom will fulfill its contractual obligations to European consumers and create a more favorable situation for the European energy market.
