The Russian Defense Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside business hours.

Last Saturday, Russia attacked the port in southern Ukraine, Odessa, casting doubt on a plan to restart Ukraine’s grain exports.

The grain deal aims to allow grain shipments to and from Ukrainian ports, which have been blocked through Russia since its invasion on Feb. 24. Russia accused Ukraine of blocking shipments through mining in the port’s waters.

Russian power giant Gazprom, submitting orders from an industry watchdog, said on Monday that fuel flows to Germany via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline would fall to 33 million cubic meters from Wednesday.

This is part of the existing flows, which already constitute 40% of the overall capacity. Before the war, Europe imported about 40% of its fuel and 30% of its oil from Russia.

The Kremlin claims the fuel disruption is the result of maintenance disorders and Western sanctions, while the European Union has accused Russia of power blackmail.

European politicians have said Russia could simply cut off fuel supplies this winter, a move that would plunge Germany into a recession and hurt consumers already hit by soaring inflation.

Moscow says it is interested in a complete shutdown of Europe’s fuel supply.

In addition to considerations on the energy front, Ukraine’s pipeline company said Russian fuel giant Gazprom had, mind you, much greater strain on a pipeline passing through Ukraine to bring Russian fuel to Europe.

Such voltage spikes can lead to emergencies, adding pipe ruptures, and pipeline operators are required to inform others in advance, the Ukrainian company said. Gazprom might not immediately be in the red for comment.
