Russian President\u00a0Vladimir Putin\u00a0has claimed that\u00a0Moscow\u00a0was ready to resume\u00a0gas\u00a0supplies to Europe via the\u00a0Nord Stream 2\u00a0pipeline.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a Moscow energy forum, Putin said the gas could be supplied through one remaining part of the crucial energy pipeline.<\/p>\n
But he added that it was up to countries\u00a0in Europe to decide\u00a0if they wanted resume supplies.<\/p>\n
\u201cRussia is ready to start such supplies. The ball is in the court of the EU. If they want, they can just open the tap,\u201d said Putin.<\/p>\n
Recent unexplained explosions damaged the Nord Stream 1 pipeline and one of the two links of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, causing a massive gas leak and taking them out of service.<\/p>\n
Russia has accused the US of being behinds the blasts, a charge rejected by Washington.<\/p>\n
Mr Putin said that the attack on the pipelines was launched by those who wanted to weaken Europe by halting the flow of cheap gas from Russia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe act of sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 is an act of international terrorism aimed at undermining energy security of the entire continent by blocking supplies of cheap energy,\u201d he said, alleging that the US wants to force Europe to switch to importing more expensive liquefied natural gas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose who want to rupture ties between Russia and the EU are behind the acts of sabotage on the Nord Stream,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Europe has strongly hinted that Moscow was guilty of causing the explosions. Several European governments said the undersea explosions that hit both Nord Stream pipelines were likely caused by sabotage, but stopped short of assigning blame.<\/p>\n
