Russia puts Nord Stream gas pipeline back in action, feeding Europe natural gas
🇷🇺 The Nord Stream pipeline system is back in operation after a brief respite, delivering Russian gas flow into Europe, which is under the massive strain of reduced supplies.
Much of Europe worried that Russian President Vladimir Putin would keep the pipeline turned off, so the move gives the continent much relief. However, the control of the pipeline still leaves many unsure of the future. The European Union is stockpiling natural gas in preparation for the winter months while they are currently experiencing its worst energy crisis in many decades. Gas shipments from Russia to Europe have been stifled for months, and industry experts are worried that without Russian natural gas, Europe would suffer massive power outages over the wolf winter months.
A top cybersecurity firm, ESET, has uncovered Chinese hacking attempts in the European cargo shipping industry, marking the latest instance of China-aligned groups infiltrating Western economic infrastructure.
