Gas operators in the EU are considering scenarios of a complete phase-out of Russian fuel/Channel 24
The European Union is developing mechanisms to completely abandon Russian gas. This should be another punishment for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and operators are already thinking of different scenarios.
In particular, they are considering the complete absence of Russian gas and the cessation of supplies to consumers. Torben Brabo, CEO of the gas transmission system operator in Denmark and President of Gas Infrastructure Europe, spoke about this.
For many years, we have to consider winter outage scenarios, especially within the European Network of Gas Transmission System Operators (ENTSOG) supply forecasts. Now the European Commission has asked infrastructure companies to add a new scenario in which there is no Russian gas at all, he said.
Brabo noted that gas accounts for 25% of total energy consumption in Europe.
< h2 class="news-subtitle cke-markup">Some countries will suffer more than others
According to the official, of the 45% of gas leaving Russia, approximately 10% is consumed in Europe. Gas is distributed unevenly, so there are countries and regions that will suffer much more than others.
The European Commission, as an option, proposes replacing Russian gas with large imports of LNG and biomethane. Brabo calls this scenario too optimistic, because every billion cubic meters counts.
There are forecasts that in the event of a shortage of gas, fuel will be given priority to households, schools and hospitals. Some industrial customers may be cut off from gas supply.
At the same time, the construction of new LNG infrastructure and major pipeline connections is accelerating. This will help diversify supplies and avoid bottlenecks. Brabo insists that Europe should also be mindful of energy efficiency efforts and simply consume less.
What we know about Europe moving away from Russian gas
- The European Union intends to refuse Russian gas supplies as part of sanctions against the aggressor for the war in Ukraine. They want to do this before 2027.
- The volume of Russian gas supplies to Europe through Ukraine may be reduced in the near future. Including because the Russians have seized certain territories of our state and disrupt the operation of stations there.
- It also became known that Russia suspended gas supplies to Poland under the Yamal contract. The reason for their actions in the Kremlin has not yet been explained.

Mykolaiv has a copy of the cruiser “Moskva” – the same cruiser “Ukraina”/”Sputnik”
В Nikolaev has a copy of the recently scuttled Russian cruiser Moskva. This vessel was planned to be called “Ukraine”.
However, as of now, it has not been completed. Oleksandr Senkevich, mayor of Nikolaev, told journalists about this.
“Moscow” was built in Ukraine
The fact is that the flagship of the Russian military was built in Ukraine. At the same factory where our cruiser now stands. Work on our cruiser did not stop by chance.
Today in Nikolaev there is nothing that would be of interest to the Russians. For two factories, the greatest, shipbuilding, they bought after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Churkin brothers and all this lads, and ruined them, – said Senkevich.
He added that now the factories are no longer working. It should be noted that earlier there were two shipbuilding plants in Nikolaev.
How the Moskva sank
This cruiser was the pride of the Russian Navy. It had a lot of weapons, so attacks from the ship could be carried out on different targets. In particular, missiles were also launched at Ukrainian cities. Fortunately, this stopped, because on April 14 the ship was hit by several missiles from the Ukrainian coastal complex “Neptun”.
There were about 510 crew members on the ship. All Kremlin propaganda says that “no one died” there. However, dozens of sailors are already known who will never return home from military service.
The image of the “indestructible Russian fleet” has practically drowned with the ship. In Crimea, the media gradually cease to believe, and the command of the Russian army is so shocked that it generally forbade the exit of its ships from Sevastopol.
Russian invaders fired at an energy enterprise in the Dnipropetrovsk region. As a result, an oil leak occurred.
