Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Dec. 25 that the Kremlin is prepared to reinstate gas supplies to Europe through the Yamal–Europe pipeline as much of the EU battles with freezing temperatures.

“The European market remains relevant because a gas deficit remains, and we have all capabilities to restore supplies. For example, the Yamal–Europe pipeline, shut down over political motives, remains unused,” Novak told the state-owned news agency, TASS.
