Moscow-Sana
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced that Russia fully fulfills its obligations regarding gas supplies to Europe and is ready to consider additional applications.
“Officially, no one has contacted the Ministry of Energy or the government, and Russia, especially Gazprom, as the only source fully fulfills its obligations under all contracts,” TASS news agency quoted Novak as saying at the Russian Energy Week forum today.
He added, "Gazprom will consider supply options based on the available production capacity," noting that "pumping into underground gas storage facilities may be completed at the end of October of this year."
The Russian company Gazprom confirmed last month that it is exporting gas to the European market in full compliance with contractual obligations and is also seeking to meet requests with additional supplies according to the available capabilities.
