That was Putin's version. The German press reports it much differently. (Translated from German) "Purely commercial decision": Russia again stops gas supply via Yamal-Europe pipeline 21:09 21.12.2021 © SNA / Ivan Rudnev / To the image database Sofia Martyanova Editor German Press Agency On Tuesday, Russia again stopped supplying natural gas via the Russian-European Yamal-Europe pipeline. According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, this is a purely commercial decision that has nothing to do with politics. As on nine days at the beginning of November, gas has been pumped in the opposite direction to Poland at the Mallnow compressor station (Brandenburg) since the morning. The delivery volume had already been significantly reduced in the three days before, according to data published on the Internet by the gas network operator Gascade. Peskov described the move as an economic decision and not a political one. "No, this is an absolutely commercial situation. Gazprom itself should be asked about the specific reasons. But there is no connection here, this is an absolutely commercial situation," he told reporters when asked what the reason was first for the decline in gas supplies via the pipeline and then for switching to lapel and whether there was a connection with the stopped gas supplies to Germany and the filling of the second strand of Nord Stream 2. Gazprom said it supplies gas to Europe in accordance with consumer requirements in full compliance with current contractual obligations. The fact that gas flows in the other direction in Mallnow is nothing out of the ordinary, said a Gascade spokeswoman. The operation of Nord Stream 2 from Russia to Germany is still subject to approval by the Federal Network Agency from. Critics see the gas pipeline primarily as a geopolitical project of Moscow. Gazprom is said to have booked no transport capacity to Germany for Tuesday. Instead, the gas was pumped in the opposite direction – from Germany to Poland. On Monday, the amount in the direction of Germany was therefore only 3.8 million cubic meters of gas. In November, between 30 million and 40 million cubic meters of gas were reportedly pumped through the Yamal pipeline every day. Kiev demands more military aid from Berlin and stop Nord Stream 2 According to the Federal Network Agency, around two-thirds of the gas imported into Germany comes from Russia and CIS countries. The gas imports arriving in Germany are largely transmitted, often to Austria and the Netherlands. In 2020, a good 23 percent of Russian gas reached Germany via Poland. The amount of gas shipped to Poland on Tuesday was initially comparatively low. Extrapolated to 24 hours, the energy content of the amount was 30 gigawatt hours. On November 3, however, the value was still 132 gigawatt hours.
