Direct gas supplies via the Yamal-Europe pipeline to Germany resumed on Thursday afternoon after five days of stopping and reverse in the opposite direction, according to data from the European gas transmission operator Gascade.

Thus, the volume of supplies in the first hour after the resumption of pumping reached 186.6 thousand cubic meters.

Against this background, the price of gas in Europe fell by almost 4% – to $877 per 1,000 cubic meters, according to the data of the ICE exchange.

The direct pumping of gas to Europe via the Yamal-Europe pipeline stopped on the morning of Saturday, October 30. So, gas pumping dropped sharply from 09:00 to 10:00 Moscow time, and then stopped altogether. After that, gas began to reverse through the pipeline in the opposite direction from Germany to Poland.
