Quote “As the market tightens and the pendulum of market power swings toward suppliers.”
I think there could be something in the view that Russia is reducing flow through Ukraine, in Russia’s views, this would help to beggar Ukraine but when Nord Stream Two comes on flow they can soon turn the taps on, thus proving to Germany/E.U. how useful is Nord Stream and how useful a partner is Russia. Today Russia and Belarus are further engaging in military endeavers and technical assistance and further integrating their economies.
