The West sanctions Putin non stop, currently tightening those even more but expects that Russia sends them gas as needed. What a kindergarten! If I was Putin I'd play the game till end of September and then shut it off completely. I have mentioned already, if it was the other way round, the West would have totally shut off the supply months ago, despite knowing that the Russians would freeze to stone. So what's the big whining! Can't have it both ways.
The biggest joke in Germany.....They plan to save electricity by shutting off traffic lights..... ......Maybe you'd want to forget about buying an electric car then.
