Russia is ready to continue supplying gas to the European Union if there are volumes remaining after supplies to alternative markets, Russian state news agency TASS reported on Sunday.
“There is plenty of it for now. But alternative markets are very voracious, there are a great many requests for supplies,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted as saying.
However, Europe will find a way to buy gas even if Russia does not supply it, Peskov said.
“There are so many gas liquefaction plants, both in Europe and in the Middle East, that this process, this spot market, functions like a living organism,” Peskov added.
