The launch of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline is possible in April-May next year.

The Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Belarus said that the country will stop supplying electricity to Ukraine starting from November 18. It is reported by "Interfax".

Certification of Nord Stream 2 must be completed by the end of the year to avoid new risks when the United States will consider the defense budget with sanctions against the pipeline.

Russia is fulfilling its obligations to supply gas to Europe, but does not believe that it should increase volumes just because the United States is calling for it.

Gazprom will continue to increase gas transit to Europe by filling its underground storage facilities.

Russia will agree to start direct gas supplies to Ukraine only on condition of political concessions in Donbass and Crimea, analyst Alexander Kochetkov believes.
