Russia's concern with people's wellbeing, even its enemies', is touching and laudable. We can't have a gas explosion senselessly taking people's lives.

This is nice but Russia afraid of the price cap and is already offering long-term oil contracts at steep discounts, in anticipation of the cap.

What's the size of Russian economy and how is her economy that integrated in the rest of the world sans it's energy/crude/gas industries compared to China's highly integrated, largest smartphone market, largest automotive market, largest economy in the world PPP and many more....

When comparing you have to be mindful of where China stands and how big it's economy is...there's already studies that shows severe economic hit for all countries involved not just China.

The maintenance shutoff was a pretext, said Brussels, which accused Russia of using gas as an economic weapon to retaliate for Europe's support of Ukraine. A repaired turbine readied for Gazprom has been stuck in Germany.

COMMENTS:

MICHAEL ROTH, CHAIR OF THE GERMAN PARLIAMENTARY FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
"This is part of Russia's psychological war against us," he tweeted. "Putin violates contracts without scruples, turns the gas tap on and off, even at the expense of his own economic interests. Nord Stream 2 won't help with this, only energy transition and energy diversification."

ERIC MAMER, EUROPEAN COMMISSION SPOKESPERSON
"Gazprom's announcement this afternoon that it is once again shutting down Nord Stream 1 under fallacious pretenses is another confirmation of its unreliability as a supplier," he said in a tweet.

"It's also proof of Russia's cynicism, as it prefers to flare gas instead of honoring contracts."

WHITE HOUSE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL SPOKESPERSON
"It is unfortunately not surprising that Russia continues to use energy as a weapon against European consumers. The U.S. and Europe have been collaborating to ensure sufficient supplies are available."

MASSIMO DI ODOARDO, VICE PRESIDENT, GAS AND LNG RESEARCH FOR WOOD MACKENZIE
"A complete shutdown will obviously have implications on market sentiment given how tight the market is and will increase the risk of further cuts via other pipelines bringing Russian gas to the EU via Ukraine and Turkey. Prices will inevitably shoot up on Monday when markets will re-open."

TOM MCNULTY, MANAGING DIRECTOR AT CHIRON FINANCIAL, HOUSTON, TEXAS
"Russia made all of these calculations prior to attacking Ukraine, and can play a game of chicken with Central and Western Europe in terms of crude oil and natural gas. Russian holds most, if not all, of the cards, and does not have to blink first. India and China continue to fund some percentage of the Russian war effort by purchasing big volumes of Russian commodities at discounted prices. This is the question: which comes first - Russia runs of cash to fight Ukraine or the heat and lights go out in Europe this winter?"

JOSH YOUNG, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, BISON INTERESTS, HOUSTON
"It seems like Russia is trying to force gas prices high enough that oil is used for power and heat generation" instead of gas, he said. "It's revenue maximizing for them to have high TTF & JKM prices and high oil prices," he added, referring to European and Asian gas price indexes by the acronyms.
