“There is no gas from Russia for a week, storage facilities continue to fill up, after a short rise on the stock exchange, prices are still high and very high, but not explosive,” RIA Novosti quotes Khabek.

He noted that at the moment the German authorities are unable to reduce gas prices.

“It will take a little more time, we will provide the companies with any support,” Habek concluded.

Earlier, Gazprom announced the termination of gas supplies via Nord Stream.

Alexander Frolov, Deputy General Director of the National Energy Institute, commented on the situation with gas in Europe in an interview with the Economics Today FBA.
