“As for the volume of supplies, we urge Gazprom to behave like a good business partner and meet our needs and increase supplies if necessary,” TASS quoted her as saying.

Earlier, the Russian company Gazprom, citing data from Gas Infrastructure Europe, reported that 85% of the gas injected in the summer had already been taken from gas storage facilities in Europe.

Germany expressed concern over the situation with the filling of gas storage facilities.

The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, explained the difficulties with gas supplies to the EU as a "crisis in relations with Russia."
