“Transportation of gas along both strings of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline will be temporarily suspended from June 21 to June 28, 2022 due to scheduled preventive maintenance,” the Russian company said in a statement.
It is noted that the suspension of fuel transportation was agreed in advance.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, in an interview with A haber, earlier stated that the state was unable to abandon Russian gas in the short term.
Russia's Permanent Representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov noted that Europe's refusal of Russian energy carriers would be "to a certain extent suicidal."
