Russia may set up a major energy hub in Trkiye for shipments to the bloc
Russia could move the transit volumes lost through the damage to the Nord Stream pipelines to the Black Sea region, by establishing a ‘gas hub’ in Türkiye for EU supplies, President Vladimir Putin has said.
He pointed out it was possible to repair the damaged pipelines but that Russia and the EU should decide their fate.
« We could … thus make the main routes for the supply of our fuel, our natural gas to Europe through Türkiye, creating the largest gas hub for Europe in Türkiye, » Putin said, during an address on Wednesday to the Moscow Energy Week conference. « That is, of course, if our partners are interested in this. And economic feasibility also matters, of course.
