From the article: Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is facing a gas shortage, The Moscow Times reported on Sept. 4.
The statement comes after a months-long Ukrainian campaign targeting Russia’s energy infrastructure in an attempt to put economic pressure on Russia and undermine its ability to finance its war against Ukraine.
Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Sept. 4, Putin said that signs of gas shortages are already visible in the Russian Far East. He said that supplying new enterprises can be challenging, and demand for gas is expected to rise significantly in the Far Eastern Federal District in the coming years.
He didn’t mention the reasons behind a potential shortage.
Putin suggested switching to coal reserves, which “will last for almost a thousand years,” Putin said, as quoted by The Moscow Times.
According to the Russian Ministry of Energy, the Kremlin has 63.4 trillion cubic meters of gas reserves, enough for 100 years of production. In 2020, the Accounts Chamber of Russia estimated that the country’s reserves made up 20% of the world’s total but warned that they would only last 50 years.
Ukraine has targeted dozens of refineries, oil depots, and military-industrial sites with long-range drones since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 to disrupt Moscow’s war effort.
Kyiv has increased the attacks recently ahead of potential peace talks following U.S. President Donald Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Aug. 15 and with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington on Aug. 18.
The attacks have disrupted Russia’s ability to process and export oil and created gasoline shortages in some Russian regions, as well as in occupied Crimea.
Blow it all to hell. It’s the only thing he understands.
Great! Now let’s give Russia an ammo shortage, a military factory shortage, and an armed forces shortage.
Could not have happened to a more deserving country than to RuZZia. Remember that the general RuZ actually likes having a “strongman” ruling them and would gladly let him slaughter anyone and anything as long as the citizens get to bask in his glory.
Smert okupantem!
3 day special gas adjustment
“Shovel faster, Comrade! We’ll never get this plane off the ground unless we move more coal to the engines!”
Coal is fine for heating homes and running powerplants but tanks, trucks and aircraft don’t run on coal. This is all just copium and posturing by Putin.
Good, let the Russian people feel something from this war that never should have happened.
Oh no.. Anyway, hit more of them.
It’s a miracle that that moron will admit anything.
Soon he might find out how long a dictator without cashflow can cling to power, because his coffers will get lighter awfully quick, now.
And this is why we are showing force to Venezuelan drug cartels.
Gas or petrol?
What’s important here is that he means the ‘real Russia’ that matters. That’s everyone 500 miles around Moscow and st Petersburg anyone outside of that area is being sent to the front for ethnic cleansing
cant we just bomb the kremlin to shits
If even Putin is forced to admit it the situation must be waaaaaaaay worst than we thought
He said they should switch to coal. I can actually see Russians trying to switch their cars to coal burning …
