Gas currently flows from Russia to Europe via Ukraine and the TurkStream pipeline. In June, these two pipelines delivered 1.76 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia to Europe. Flows through the TurkStream pipeline remained stable despite a week-long shutdown. This was reported by S&P Global.

Russian gas deliveries to Europe are currently limited to two routes. The first runs through Ukraine and the second through the European branch of the TurkStream pipeline. In total, these pipelines delivered 1.76 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe in June 2023. However, deliveries of Russian gas to Europe—which S&P Global does not count Moldova as part of—were much lower than last year. Specifically, June deliveries were down 63% year on year.

Russia's reliability as a supplier remains a source of concern. The five-year contract for the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine expires in December 2024. Not only Ukrainian officials expect the contract not to be renewed.
