In previous years, when there was such a need, the Russian company has responded to the growing demand in the European Union, but this time it is different.
Critics say the company may want to speed up the commissioning of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. It is still awaiting approval from the German regulator.
However, Leiena did not speculate on Gazprom’s reasons for not helping Europe. She pointed out that rising energy prices had affected the whole world, but that the situation in Europe was particularly acute.
And with the European Union importing 90 percent of the natural gas it consumes, EU countries are particularly vulnerable, so diversification of supply sources and a faster transition to clean energy should be considered.
High energy prices will be discussed by EU leaders at a special summit on Thursday and Friday.
