Russia's strategy to maintain gas exports to Europe is part of its broader geopolitical plan to weaken EU and NATO unity.
It may astonish many to know that Russia n gas has continued to make its way into Europe since the country invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022. This is despite the fact that the money made from these exports is used directly or indirectly to fund Moscow’s ongoing war against Kyiv. It is also despite the fact that Europe’s long-running dependence on Russia n energy imports consistently neutered its response to two previous illegal occupations of European sovereign independent countries by Russia .
during the early weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine was aimed at ensuring that Russia did not stop supplying it with oil or gas, due to its not being able to pay in the way Moscow preferred, as also detailed in my latest book on the new global oil market order. This followed the 31 March decree signed by President Vladimir Putin that required E.U. buyers to pay in roubles for Russian gas via a new currency conversion mechanism or risk having supplies suspended.
