European Union countries have agreed to a proposal to voluntarily cut their gas consumption by 15 per cent this winter. This deal comes after Gazprom, Russia’s state-owned energy corporation, said it would further cut gas flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany.

Russia has quite a hold on Germany
Spineless Germans should have never turn off their nuclear power plants and don't rely on Russia!
They have chosen this coarse of action punish there own people to hold Russia accountable lmfao.
No doubt the intention is to sow discord in Western Alliance but at high cost to Putin in funding his aggression.
The whole period of 30 years of the country’s independence Kulibayev family robbed businesses, people. They were part of so called mighty Nazarbayev clan and this has to end. Only developed countries like yours are able to help to balance the justice in regards of this family. This process has already started. Even the latest movie about Nursultan Nazarbayev called Golden man produced by Oliver Stone tells the world the truth. Nazarbayev in his interview said himself that he shot peacefu civilians during events in Zhana Ozen in 2011. He admitted it himself. Crimes like this are against all legal and human rights. The small group of people has stolen all from the people and ruined the economy. Now the country is surviving. All because of bunch of criminals including Timur Kulibayev, Dinara Kulibayeva, Bolat Nazarbayev, Umut
Shayakhmerova, Raushan Sagdiyeva. Howcome all of these crimes are unnoticed by the world leaders like you?!
Who's laughing now
The EU is the worst thing to happen to European countries
New word soon to be introduced into the German language: "srilankanheit" – a state of popular uprising induced by exasperation with irresponsible governance and unnecessary deprivation.
Mr Putin needs to be treated like he treats others like a bully
😂
AMERICA GAS PROFITS SET TO REACH MARS AS RUSSIA STOPS GAS SUPPLIES.. PRESIDENT ZELENSKY HAS DRIVEN THE WORLD TO ABSOLUTE POVERTY.. ESTIMATED 1.5 BILLION PEOPLE WILL ABSOLUTELY SUFFER TERRIBLY BECAUSE ZELENSKY CANNOT BRING THE WAR TO AN END THROUGH DIPLOMACY.. DONBAS WAS ALREADY LONG AT WAR BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED BUT INSTEAD OF ENDING THE CONFLICT HE FUELED THE FIRES OF WAR.. SOARING GAS,, FUEL. AND FOOD PRICES ARE ALL BECAUSE OF HIS INCOMPETENCE TO BRING PEACE.. INSTEAD HE BEGS FOR WEAPONS… PRESIDENT ZELENSKY HAS RUINED THE WORLD ECONOMY..
what a mess these "leaders" have caused. Enjoy your cold winter and no heating dear citizens lol
Trump warned them Russia would use the pipeline against the west and they all laughed at him AND ALSO they still continue to accuse him of Russian collusion anyways…err,lol
Totally avoidable.
I don't think liberals know what rationing is
Lol, the green zealots march on.
I wonder if Germany is still happy with their decision to go green by shutting down their nuclear plants and coal fired energy plants?
Maybe energy independence is important. Just maybe.
Uni polar world is over
Always recall, President Trump in his UN speech warned them all about this.
They laughed. Now they are in serious trouble…
Buy the gas….that F'N simple. Can't expect anyone to keep giving you stuff for free. This is a choice by European leaders to cut gas to its people. Gazprom is cutting gas because no one is paying them, simple economics.
Canada has so much Gas. We should sell LNG to these courses.. At least learn from Americans a bit for God's sake.
Remember when German reps smirked when Trump predicted this?…..crickets
It’s simple NATO squats on Russia. Not only is than the pipe open but 99% discounted
Why is our government not offering to meet EU's energy needs. Oh yeah, that would mean the Liberal government might actually need to do something other than run up the country's debt.
amazing, that the sanctions these countries are imposing are hurting themselves, 10/10 4d chess right there.
