The capacity of the gas pipeline was not ordered either at regular or at additional auction sessions, RIA Novosti reports.

Earlier, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that Russia had strictly fulfilled its contractual obligations for gas supplies to Europe over the past weeks.

He also said that compared to 2021, gas prices in the European Union have increased six to ten times.

According to the head of European diplomacy, this is due to problems with supply and demand at the global level.
