Putin: Russia may consider stopping gas supplies to the EU market now rather than waiting a month

Sputnik, Moscow, Russia - Russian President Putin said that Russia may consider stopping gas supplies to the European market now, rather than waiting a month as the EU hopes, and instead turn to more promising markets.

Puvin told the author of the Russian state TV and radio company "Vesti" Pavel Zarubin: "In any case, as you just said, they plan to impose restrictions on the purchase of Russian natural gas, including liquefied natural gas, from the 24th, which is the last day, starting from the 25th. Further restrictions will be implemented after one year, in 2027, until a complete ban. Now other markets are opening up. It may be more beneficial for us to stop gas supplies to the European market now. Turn to the open markets and consolidate our position there."
