Russia Cuts German Gas Supply Resulting In Soaring Prices

Russia’s decision to further cut gas supplies to Germany and other central European countries have resulted in soaring gas prices.

Critics accuse the Russian government of using gas as a political weapon.

Russian energy firm, Gazprom, explains the latest cut indicating it was needed to allow maintenance work on a turbine.

However, the German government said there was no technical reason for it to limit the supply.

Ukraine has accused Moscow of waging a “gas war” against Europe and cutting supplies to inflict “terror” on people.

Russia has been cutting flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany.

It is now operating at less than a fifth of its normal capacity.
