Energy Crisis in Europe
Europe is bracing for tough winter as US-led push to “punish” Moscow for its military operation in Ukraine backfired on the EU, which has faced months of skyrocketing energy prices and rising inflation after Brussels joined Washington in attempting to “phase out” Russian oil, coal and gas.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has argued that there is no technical reason for Russia to further halve gas supply to Europe through its Nord Stream 1 pipeline.
Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Monday that it would slash daily gas flow from Wednesday from the current 40% of the pipeline’s capacity to 20%, or 33 million cubic meters, as a result of maintenance issues.
"There are no technical reasons for the supply cut… Russia is violating contracts and shifting the blame on others," Habeck told German news agency dpa.
The minister said the Siemens turbine was in Germany and ready for delivery to Russia. He accused Moscow of trying to drive a wedge between Ukraine’s supporters. Russia argues that it is not interested in a full cutoff of gas supplies to Europe.
