Novak: Europe's Gas Reserves Could Face Challenges if Russian Gas Flow Stops

In an interview with Russia 24 TV channel, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated that despite the supply from Russia, the situation regarding gas reserves in Europe is tense, and without them, the situation would become even more difficult. Novak mentioned, "Today, although the gas flow from Russia is continuing, the situation there is already quite tense. If the flow stops, the situation will become even more difficult." He also added that the gas reserves in storage facilities in Europe are currently 3-5% lower than the average of the last five years.
