TurkStream is now the only route for Russian gas to Europe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : This may include more Russian LNG, EU purchases of which rose to a new record of 24.2 bcm in 2024.
57% : For the first time, the pipeline handled more Russian gas bound for the EU and Moldova than Ukraine in 2024, with deliveries increasing by 23% to 16.7 bcm, according to calculations made by the Moscow-based Vedomosti newspaper.
44% : EU authorities, which played a critical role in brokering the original contract at the end of 2019, had said they viewed an extension as unnecessary, arguing that those countries still dependent on Russian gas flow through Ukraine - namely Slovakia and some of its neighbours in Central Europe - had sufficient alternatives to offset a halt in transit.
40% : Should those supplies be disrupted, the EU would lose a further 5.0-7.5% of its gas supply.
