Russia mounts pressure ahead of Ukraine's Independence Day;
Europe's Gas supply to be cut again
Russian gas deliveries to Europe through the
Nord Stream pipeline will cease from August 31 to September 2. Russian energy
giant Gazprom said that the shutdown was because the pipeline's only remaining
compressor requires maintenance. The unscheduled maintenance work deepens an
energy standoff between Russia and European Union and adds pressure to the
region as it seeks to refuel for winter. The disclosure also comes at a time
when gas flows to Europe has come down to 20%. European countries are dependent
on Russian gas as the country supplies nearly 40% of Europe’s total gas
consumption. The announcement by the Russian company also came a day after
Ukrainian President warned of a Russian offensive ahead of its 31st
Independence Day.
