Russia cuts gas to Germany and Poland
Russia plays with Germany and in general with the countries of Central Europe, showing its absolute absolute power and cuts, without warning, the gas. Flows at the Mallnow metering point in Germany , which is located on the Polish border, stopped in the early hours of Saturday, according to data from German operator Gascade. Russian gas reaches Mallnow through the Yamal duct, which passes through Belarus and Poland.
Gazprom, controlled by the Russian state, said that the demands of customers in Europe were met. He added that the fluctuations in demand for Russian gas depend on the actual needs of the buyers, thus indirectly admitting that the gas in question has been sent elsewhere …
A spokesperson for PGNiG (PGN.WA), a Polish state-controlled energy company, said flows from the east were much lower than usual, but Poland is still receiving amounts consistent with its contract.
However, these were obviously not enough quantities in Warsaw: in fact, the Polish gas network operator Gaz-System said on Saturday that the Yamal pipeline was delivering gas to Poland through the Kondratki compression station to the east and Mallnow to the west through the " reverse mode ”, which means it was carrying gas from west to east.
"There is currently no request for gas transit to Germany," a Gaz-System spokesperson said in an e-mailed statement.
Now Gazprom claims that there is no problem, that supplies are respected, and, as far as we know, that might even be true. What is certain is that the European energy policy proves, with each passing day, more and more like a noose tightened around the neck of Europeans. Furthermore, a rise in gas prices with forward delivery is to be expected, in the face of this new, inexplicable, stop to supplies.
