According to the Kremlin, Putin argued to Soltz that problems with supplying natural gas to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline were caused by Western sanctions on Moscow.

In the talks he had with the German chancellor Olaf Solz the Russian president said on Tuesday night Vladimir Putin, criticizing the… EU for its gas “troubles”.

According to a Kremlin statement, Putin told Solz that problems with supplying natural gas to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline were caused by Western sanctions on
Moscow.

Putin also argued that any attempts to blame Moscow for Europe’s energy woes are… “cynical”, given the suspension of natural gas supplies through Ukraine and Poland by the respective countries’ authorities and the refusal to allow it to operate natural gas pipeline Nord Stream 2.

“Describing the current situation in the European energy sector, Vladimir Putin emphasized that Russia was and remains a reliable supplier of energy resources, fulfilling all its contractual obligations and interruptions, for example, in the operation of the natural gas pipeline Nord Stream 1 caused by anti-Russian sanctions that interfere with its maintenance,” the statement said.
