news of the day
Gazprom has further reduced its gas deliveries to Eni by an additional third, supplying a quantity of around 21 million m3 on Monday, the Italian hydrocarbons group announced in a press release.
The average for the last few days has been around 32 million m3, specifies Eni. Part of the gas delivered by the Russian giant to Italy is transported by Nord Stream 1, which has been undergoing maintenance since Monday morning.
The phrase
“Let’s prepare for the total cut off of Russian gas, this is the most likely option. »
The government called on Sunday to “quickly get into battle order” to deal with the possibility of a total cut in Russian gas supplies, “the most likely option” according to Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire.
“Let’s prepare for the total cut off of Russian gas, this is the most likely option today. That supposes that we accelerate our energy independence”, pleaded during the Economic Meetings of Aix-en-Provence the number 2 of the French government, which wants to take advantage of the summer to “put itself in battle order” before winter. .
The number
26. This is the human toll of the Russian strike that hit an apartment building in Chassiv Yar, eastern Ukraine, on Sunday, Ukrainian relief announced.
“A total of 26 people have been found and extracted from the rubble since the start of the work, and nine people have been rescued,” the local branch of the Ukrainian Emergency Service said on Facebook.
The trend of the day
Germany, and with it Europe, entered this Monday in a period of great uncertainty on the continuation of their imports of Russian gas, already greatly reduced in recent weeks and which could soon dry up completely.
The Russian giant Gazprom began maintenance work on the two Nord Stream 1 gas pipelines in the morning, which carry a large quantity of its gas, which is still delivered to Germany and several other countries in western Europe.
This stoppage for ten days of the two pipes, announced for a long time, was in theory only to be a technical formality. But in the context of the war in Ukraine and the showdown between Moscow and the West over energy, no one can bet on the future.
