Gas crisis in Europe amid anti- Russian sanctions imposed by the West and the United States began to strengthen. At the same time, the gas tanks for the winter may soon be empty. Business Insider reports this with reference to a Bank of America study.
“Over the past month, the gas situation in Europe has rapidly shifted from a 'bad' scenario to a 'terrible' scenario,” the study reports.
According to analysts, the Russian Federation is the largest supplier of energy resources to the West. It accounts for 40% of the gas consumed there. Since Russia stopped supplying fuel, Germany and France were forced to impose a limit on gas usage in order to have some fuel reserves for the winter season.
It is worth noting that due to the decrease in energy imports, Germany turn off the lighting of historical monuments and buildings.
