How much less gas is Russia sending to Europe? A simple graph makes us understand. How will all this end?

In reality, after so many announcements, how much less gas is coming to Europe from Russia? Is this a really large quantity, or are they just secondary supplies whose importance has been exaggerated in the end?

Here, in a simple graph, the drop in gas shipments from Russia to Europe divided by single access point in EU countries

let's see how if in March Russia sent 250 million cubic meters of methane gas to the EU via both Nord Stream and the two Ukrainian accesses, there was the closure of a Ukrainian access in May, that of Sokhranivka, wanted by Ukraine due to lack of control, both then the progressive decline both through Nord Stream 1, and through the Sudzha pass. However, we have sharply gone from over 250 million cubic meters per day to just over 100.

Italian gas now comes, in descending order, from:

  1. Algeria (Mazara del Vallo)
  2. LNG regasifiers
  3. TAP (Meledugno)
  4. Russia
  5. Libya
  6. Passo Gries (North Sea)

At the moment Russia is perfectly secondary to Algeria and regasifiers. We wanted to put gas tariffs on Russia, instead Russia put Italy and the EU at the door. Many say Russia will not survive without selling gas to Europe. Russia believes that Europe will not survive without Russian gas. I think they will both survive, but they will be different, poorer and more resentful.
