Germany says reducing Russian gas supplies is part of Moscow’s plan to stir up fear in Europe

The German government has accused Russia of leading an “attack” on Germany and the EU, by restricting gas supplies to the continent.

“Reducing gas supply via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline is an attack against us – an economic attack against us,” the country’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Tuesday.

Speaking at an industry conference, Habeck added that Moscow is trying to stir up fear in Europe and that the gas-supply situation could lead to a crisis worse than the coronavirus pandemic.

Russian energy supplier Gazprom last week slashed natural gas flow to Germany via the pipeline by 60%, citing a technical issue. Turbines from a pumping station have not been returned from repairs in Canada, with Ottawa explaining that it was unable to return them due to the sanctions against Russia. According to media reports, Canada is now exploring ways to send the crucial parts without breaching the restrictions.


The reduction in gas supply affected the flows of Russian gas from Germany to other European countries, including France, Austria and the Czech Republic, prompting these and other EU nations to introduce emergency measures to reduce the use of natural gas.

The slowdown has hampered the EU’s attempts to refill its gas storage facilities, now about 55% full, according to Reuters, to meet a bloc-wide target of 90% by November, a level that would enable the region to get through winter if Russian supplies were cut further.

“I thought they already signed a gas deal with Isreal and Egypt, what the fvck happened to the deal with Qatar, clueless western leaders, fvcking Mor0ns, una Dey score own goals, Maguire dey learn work… lmao” - OP

na matter of time, na onebyone dem go Dey recieve sense

These EU ruler's are total idiots. You attack Russia with sanctions to destroy their economy, government and way of life because of Ukraine that renegades on the agreement that Germany France russia and Ukraine signed instead of penalizing Ukraine, EU turned to destroy Russia because of their master USA. Now everything is backfiring. They are crying more than Ukraine

So they shouldn't debunk an obvious lie because they signed deals? The way some y'all just download RT and start typing based on thier reports is just amazing. Yes, the EU is feeling the impact of the gas supply issues but that's not what this news is about.

Russia slashed gas supply to Germany by 60% and blamed it on maintenance repairs for the Nord Stream-1 pipeline, saying needed equipment had been held up in Canada because of Western sanctions. I don't have a problem with Russia fighting back, that's exactly what they're meant to do. But when they fight back, let them be bold enough to say it instead of continously dishing out petty lies that reduce international politics to a child's play. The West boldly and mercilessly sanctioned them. They can do the same. The world is watching and these petty lies make it difficult to believe anything from Moscow. Now the German economist has told Germans that, unlike what Moscow reported, this isn't any technical issue but a political decision, and here is RT news taking the speech out of context as usual.

Right from the onset, it has been one lie or the other from Russia. The reason they invaded Ukraine is still a mystery today even to thier supporters. Is it really because of NATO or for peacekeeping as Putin claimed or just to break off some parts of the country as we're seeing today? They're just making a mess of international politics and this has been the case long before now. It's extremely difficult to have agreement with Russia given this kind of history. The West isn't full of angels but they're far more straightforward with their position probably cause they have a reputation to protect.

Just take a lot at RT news. They don't even know how to be "pretentiously" biased like other news outlet. Even biased CNN still tries to sound logical and sometimes calls out thier own government, thanks to thier alignment with a certain political ideology against the other. It may not be ideal but it's a dividend of democracy. RT, on the other hand, is just an extreme version of NTA. They exist to praise Putin's government and discredit the "enemies", that's all. When people say they don't listen to CNN but conveniently share news that come from RT, it becomes obvious they're not truly against the media bias but just interested in pushing thier own narrative.

Y'all shouldn't bother quoting me, I'm having a long day at work, please.

Russia should cut of gas.

No one will quote that trash you just spilled up there, you tried so hard to make sense but you still suck at it….

The last paragraph na my personal opinion, I don’t give a rat a$$, if that doesn’t sit down well with you, who cares….

So crawl back into your hole…..
