The East German energy company VNG currently sees no possibility of a return to Russian pipeline gas supplies. A direct return to Russian supplies is currently "difficult to imagine", said CEO Ulf Heitmüller in Leipzig. Russia had stopped gas supplies unilaterally and in breach of contract. VNG therefore currently no longer has any supply relationships with Russia.
In response to the question of whether Russian gas could be an option again after a possible ceasefire in Ukraine, Heitmüller clarified that although there is a lot of speculation about this, there is no reliable information available. The question of a return does not currently arise for VNG.
