Russian gas monopoly Gazprom cut supplies to Europe through
the TurkStream pipeline by 3.7% in June from June 2025, to 36.2 million cubic
meters per day, and by 23.6% from May 2026, The
Moscow Times reported.
After flows through the Yamal-Europe and Nord Stream
pipelines stopped, and after the Russian gas transit route through Ukraine was
shut down in January 2025, Gazprom was left with one pipeline route to Europe —
through Türkiye, with capacity of 15.75 billion cubic meters a year.
Gazprom’s total exports to Europe through TurkStream stood
at 1.09 billion cubic meters in June.
In January-June 2026, Russian gas exports to Europe rose 5%
from the same period in 2025, to 8.7 billion cubic meters.
The pipeline’s capacity in June, on days when it was fully
operational, was used at an average of 81%, down from 84% in May, Russian news
agency Interfax reported. In early June, gas flows through TurkStream were
restricted and then fully halted for planned maintenance.
As reported earlier, Gazprom increased gas supplies to
Europe through TurkStream by 3% in May compared with May 2025.
Russian pipeline gas exports to Europe fell 44% in 2025 to
their lowest level since the mid-1970s, after the Ukrainian transit route was
closed and the European Union gradually moved away from Russian fossil fuel
imports.
TurkStream is designed to carry Gazprom gas to Türkiye and
European countries via Türkiye. The pipeline consists of two lines, each
designed to carry up to 15.75 billion cubic meters of gas a year.
In addition to Türkiye, countries receiving gas through
TurkStream include Serbia, Hungary and Slovakia.
