> Russian deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak threatened to cut off Russian natural gas supplies to Europe through the original Nord Stream 1 pipeline in retaliation for Germany’s decision to block operation of the new Nord Stream 2.
> In a televised statement, Novak, also the country’s top energy official, said Russia hasn’t made the decision yet but has the full right to take a “mirror” action and put an embargo on gas supplies that come through the NS1 pipeline, which he said is working now “at its full capacity.”
I guess, european leaders should have cut it first? or were they expecting them to start bombing kiev first? Is this expected to cause disruptions in europe and does it make a difference in the short term?
