Russia is burning the natural gas that must go to Europe, European Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, confirmed on Tuesday.
On a visit to Indonesia, Kadri Simson explained, quoted by AFP, that Russia does so because it does not have the capacity to store more natural gas, after having cut off supplies to the European Union.
“Our satellites record that natural gas is being burned and that is very polluting,” said Kadri Simson, who noted that Russia has no “other alternative gas pipelines to other regions of the world” except in Europe. “Its underground gas storage is full,” the commissioner said.
