  • Russia Halts Gas Through Yamal-Europe Pipeline<br>MALLNOW, GERMANY - APRIL 28: A compressor station of the Jagal natural gas pipeline stands on April 28, 2022 near Mallnow, Germany. The Jagal is the German extension of the Yamal-Europe pipeline that transports Russian natural gas to Germany via Poland, though no Russian gas has arrived at Mallnow since April 8. Russian gas flow is unlikely to resume soon, as Russia yesterday halted all gas flowing through the Yamal pipeline in order to cut Poland off from Russian gas supplies. According to a spokeswoman of GASCADE, the German company that operate the Mallnow station, gas is now flowing from Germany into Poland via Mallnow. Germany receives Russian gas through two other pipelines, both of which are still operating. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
