In this decrease, 75% or 30 billion cubic meters is the share of 27 EU countries. Gas consumption also decreased in the UK: for the period indicated – by around 5 billion cubic meters. Thus, the total share of EU and UK countries in the reduction of world demand is almost 90%, “the statement states.

Gas situation:
August 31 Gazprom suspended gas supplies in Europe via Nord Stream 1. The company claimed that oil leaks were found on parts of the pipeline’s compressor and that the equipment had to be shut down until the leak was repaired.
