According to the Kremlin, the Russian energy company Gazprom is ready to increase its gas deliveries to Europe.
At least in theory.
»Is it possible to get more gas from Gazprom and pump it there?
It is possible.
Gazprom is ready, "said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, according to the Interfax news agency.
He told Russian state television, “Is Gazprom ready to go on and on with contracts?
Gazprom is interested.
Because our consumers in Europe are our most important partners. "
Peskow made no concrete promises.
In return, he emphasized that Gazprom was already meeting all of its obligations.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) and EU parliamentarians had accused Russia of not delivering enough gas through existing pipelines to force the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline into operation quickly.
In Europe, prices have risen by 250 percent this year.
This is also very noticeable in Germany.
Since the price of electricity is also related to the price of gas, it also climbed on the stock exchanges.
