Russia claims it can increase supplies and ease Europe's gas costs

Russia has the potential to boost natural gas supplies to Europe, where surging gas prices have ramped up pressure on consumers, the Kremlin said Thursday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said existing gas transit routes allow for bolstering supplies before the new Nord Stream 2 pipeline that will carry Russian gas to Germany begins operating.

"There is a potential," Peskov said during a conference call with reporters. "It all depends on demand, contractual obligations and commercial agreements."

Europe’s soaring gas prices dropped Thursday, a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested his country could sell more gas to European spot buyers via its domestic market in addition to through existing long-term contracts.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Wednesday that getting Nord Stream 2 launched would quickly stabilize European energy markets, a statement seen by some in Europe as an attempt to prod regulators into moving fast to certify the new pipeline.

Asked about Novak’s comment, Peskov replied that Russia could boost supplies along existing routes. ............

I have no doubt at all they can,and will do that.

Russia is looking to be an actual player on the international scene instead of a threat.

With the gas supplies, they supply weakness.

If they ever close the valve, Europe will be in chaos.

In the meantime, they will keep developing "green" solutions....which have not worked sufficiently so far.

Exactly -- Russia is playing whatever game they need to, to whomever they can to get ahead.  They cannot be trusted.

And truthfully,neither can anyone else. Every nation is doing whatever they think they need to do in order to gain power and control so they can remain sovereign instead of being subsurvient.

Well,every nation but the USA,that is.
