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.

ANKARA (Sputnik) - Russian President Vladimir Putin's idea of moving gas transit from the Nord Stream gas pipelines to the Black Sea and Turkey is "technically possible" and should be studied in detail, Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Fatih Donmez said on Wednesday.

"I think that this proposal by Vladimir Putin should be studied in detail, it is technically possible," Donmeuz said at the Russian Energy Week forum.

According to state-run broadcaster TRT Haber, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan would discuss the idea of moving gas transit from the Nord Stream pipelines to the Black Sea during a meeting in Astana on Thursday.
Earlier in the day, Putin said at the Russian Energy Week that Moscow could move gas transit from the Nord Stream pipelines to the Black Sea and Turkey, if Europe is ready to continue cooperation with Russia.
The need to shift the transit arose after the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in September. The explosions damaged the system, and the operator company says it is unclear when they can be repaired to allow gas delivery from Russia to Europe.
Moscow already stressed that it considers the incident to be a terror attack, and is launching a probe into the blasts.
