- The Kremlin said gas flows to Europe via Nord Stream 1 would resume if sanctions are lifted.
- The comments were the Kremlin's sharpest so far linking gas supplies to sanctions.
- On Friday, Gazprom shut down gas flows via the key pipeline indefinitely, citing technical issues.
"Problems with gas supply arose because of the sanctions imposed on our country by Western states, including Germany and Britain," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov during a conference call, Reuters reported on Monday.

After the Nord Stream 1's shutdown, just two networks carrying natural gas to Europe remain: one flows through Ukraine — although supply has been slowed due to the war there — and the TurkStream pipeline that runs from Russia to Turkey, which is operating normally.
Commentary:
Not only did Europe and German disgregard and laugh at Trump when he warned them about become dependent on the energy supplied by Russian but so did those Maoist/DSA Democrat Commies here in America.
So it comes as no surprise that the warning is no longer being scoffed by German, FRance and the U.K.
It's going tto be a cold winter in Europe this coming year.
