In Moscow, within the "Russian Energy Week" international conference framework, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the USA, Ukraine, and Poland are the primary beneficiaries of Nord Stream sabotage.
According to Putin, the European prosperity of the last decades was based on cooperation with Russia. Putin emphasized that Moscow does not restrict anyone or anything and is ready to supply additional gas to European countries in the fall and winter. Putin also highlighted Turkey's role in ensuring Europe's energy security.
He stated that it would be possible to redirect the lost volume of transit through the "Northern Streams" to the Black Sea region. According to him, it is possible to create the most significant gas hub in Turkey, through which supplies will be made to Europe. He specified that European partners should show interest in this.
