“As we anticipated, Russia is using gas as a weapon of war and is using Engie’s way of applying the contracts as a pretext to further reduce French supplies,” Agnes Pannier-Runacher said in an overnight statement.
“France has been preparing for this scenario since the spring …,” the French minister said, adding that the country had already reduced its exposure to Russian gas imports to 9% from roughly double that amount before the invasion of Ukraine.Asked about Gazprom’s announcement, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne late on Tuesday said Engie had other sources of supply. She gave no details.
Please balance reporting, when the West hypocrites cut Russia from their financial system you never show any biased against USA and UK. Those affected by three days close of gas supply must feel that US is using them.
That's the consequences of unilateral and unlawful sanctions against Russia. They've baked the cake and now they'll have to eat it.
Putin cheerleaders about to twerk to this news... Russia is shooting themselves in the foot long term... Give it 6 months once Europe find alternatives to Russia's gas supply they'l apply additional sanctions against them... Russia will never be able to replace European customers
