Russia expresses readiness to supply gas to the EU contingent on surplus

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia remains open to supplying natural gas to the European Union, provided that there is a surplus after meeting the demands of alternative markets. According to the state news agency TASS, Peskov noted that current demand from other markets is very high and there are numerous supply requests. He emphasized that the global gas market operates like a living organism with significant availability of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Peskov acknowledged that Europe would likely find ways to procure gas even in the absence of Russian supplies. The statement highlights a strategic shift in Russian energy policy toward diverse markets while maintaining a conditional offer to European partners. No specific volume or timeline for these potential exports was provided in the official reports.
