Putin warns of potential halt to European gas supplies amid Iran crisis
Putin says the decision has not been taken, is just a thought
Putin says EU wants to ban Russian gas and LNG
Russia shifts focus to China as Europe reduces dependency on Russian energy

So… we don’t buy Russian gas, but Putin thinks about stopping Russian gas to the EU? Oh no!
Dude is fighting with entire NATO for 4 years without NATO even knowing about this. Give him a break
I don’t get it. What gassupply? The Russian distribution station providing some gas to the last 2 countries importing it(Hungary and Slovakia iirc), was bombed by Ukraine not so long ago. Maybe hes talking about sending LNG to these countries, but that too will end in 2027. #syn
The Slovak govetnment (and Hungarian too I imagine) is adamant the pipeline is in working condition and Ukraine is stalling on making the gas flow. They also refuse to diversify and are pushing for continuing to use Russian gas.
So I hope Putin goes through with this because it would be hillarious.
It’s propaganda. Saying that you will sell your gas to other countries, which will pay more than Europe sounds much better than saying that you totally destroyed your European gas business
If he thinks he’s going to get more money from China, he’s a lot dumber than I think he is. And European’s know it, so it’s a completely hollo threat.
China will put the screws to Russia to further weaken them, and then take Eastern Russia away when they have nothing left to fight with. Their 3 day war is going on 5 years now and they’re down to Cold War tanks.
It’s propaganda.
Must be that, and reporters dutifully aiding / " reporting" it.

For pipeline gas and LNG combined, Russia accounted for around 13% of total EU gas imports in 2025. … By the end of 2027, all Russian gas imports will be prohibited.
And then Putin can say he stopped selling gas to Europe. Rare chance for him to tell truth.
Europe could just get free gas and oil by confiscating shadow fleet tankers in the Baltic sea…
Do it, you pussy. The only one complaining is your lapdog Orban anyway
He doesn’t have the balls to do it. The petrol state can’t stop selling petrol or will self implode
This is a “you can’t fire me, I quit” situation. Russia is trying to reframe something that isn’t in its control as its choice.
