In his address to the Russian Energy Week International Forum, President Vladimir Putin said Russia is ready to resume gas supplies via one link of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that remains operational, local media reported.
The Russian leader said gas could still be supplied by one remaining intact part of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The ball was in the EU’s court on whether it wanted gas supplied via the pipeline, he said.
Putin said, “Russia is ready to start such supplies. The ball is in the court of the EU. If they want, they can just open the tap.”
He went on to say that Russia has nothing to do with the sky-high energy prices that Europeans are facing this winter,
