Lithuanian Energy Minister Dainius Kreivys described the halting of gas imports from Russia as “a turning point in Lithuania’s energy history”. Stating that they are the first European country to abandon Russian gas, Kreivys said that this is the result of consistent energy policies carried out for years and timely infrastructure decisions. In the statement made on the website of the Ministry of Energy of Lithuania, it was stated that gas imports from Russia were stopped in response to Russia’s “energy blackmail” in Europe and the war in Ukraine, and the data of Amber Grid company, which provides Russian gas flow to the country through Belarus, showed zero as of April 2. It was stated that all of the country’s gas needs are met through liquefied natural gas (LNG), and it was noted that the planning regarding the amount of natural gas to be imported in the coming months and the routes through which the said gas will be brought to the country was made with the Klaipedos Nafta company, which operates the LNG terminal. It was stated that natural gas can be imported to the country via Latvia and Poland as of May 1, if needed, in the video published on April 3, 2022, “The first country to abandon Russian gas has been announced!“, below:

The flow of natural gas from Russia to Europe has been cut off Transportation of gas from the Russian Federation to Europe via the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline (from Belarus and Poland to Germany) to Europe from Malnov (Germany) has dropped to zero.

According to other information, the supply of Russian gas to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline and the Velke-Kapusani (Slovakia) station has remained generally stable. It should be noted that Russia has decided to transfer payments for gas supplies to Europe in rubles as soon as possible. However, in a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, French President Emmanuel Macron said that it was impossible to pay for gas in rubles, in the video published on March 30, 2022, “The flow of natural gas from Russia to Europe has been cut off“, below:
