The two-string Nord Stream pipeline was subsequently hit by a suspected sabotage attack in late September, rendering the system unusable. Russia's pipeline supplies to Europe were gradually reduced through 2022, with deliveries halted via the Yamal-Europe and Nord Stream pipelines, and supplies sharply curtailed via Ukraine.

Russian deliveries into Europe by pipeline are currently limited to flows via Ukraine entering at the Sudzha point on the Russia-Ukraine border and via the European string of TurkStream.Įxcluding supplies to the former Soviet state of Moldova, total Russian pipeline exports to Europe are still running much lower year on year, with June deliveries via the two remaining major supply routes down 63%.
