“This is not our main scenario, but it is also a risk that cannot be completely ruled out,” TASS cites his answer to a question about the possibility of a complete cessation of Russian gas supplies to the EU.

Russian gas during this period will be supplied to Western and Central Europe only in transit through Ukraine.

Candidate of Technical Sciences Alexander Vlasov, in an interview with the Economics Today, commented on the situation with gas in Europe.
