Novak: Nord Stream remains relevant for the European Union Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on the sidelines of the GECF summit that in the future, Europe may again be interested in Nord Stream as a gas supply route. According to him, Moscow is ready to resume exports if the European countries have such a desire. "For our part, we are ready, we have always been reliable suppliers, this is the first.
Second, if Europe doesn't buy, we have somewhere to sell our gas. And you know that in recent years we have developed an infrastructure for supplying to those countries that are increasing consumption in the most active way and where the economy is growing. Therefore, Russia has no problems with selling gas in this regard. It's more of a problem in Europe," he said. "NiK" mentions that already in the current heating season the European Union may face a real shortage of gas, although the extent of the problem will depend on a combination of weather, market and geopolitical factors. At the same time, the European Union has enough infrastructure to avoid a catastrophic scenario, but not enough reserves to feel confident in case of an unfavorable development of events. Oil and capital we are in Max.
