The French opinion portal Opinion Internationale has published an extensive analysis on Gazprom restricting gas supply to Europe to force the launch of Nord Stream 2. The piece sheds new light on the dispute over the gas price crisis. Did Russia’s partners in Germany know about it in advance?

Gazprom’s presence in the mining sector and gas infrastructure in Europe is becoming more and more troublesome, including the contested Nord Stream 2. However, the Russians are counting on new transactions that will allow them to reach for new assets – says Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.

German BASF and Russian LetterOne announced the completion of negotiations on the exchange of assets. If they receive the green light from Oslo, they will challenge the Baltic Pipe in Norway, the development of the gas market in Europe, and perhaps the security of NATO – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief of BiznesAlert.pl.
