Nord Stream 1 Russia-to-Europe Gas Pipeline Shut Down for Maintenance
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Europe, the Nord Stream 1 pipeline has been shut down for 10 days of
maintenance, cutting off the flow of natural gas from Russia to Germany
and other EU nations. The cutoff was planned, though it's not clear
whether Russian officials will restart gas shipments later this month
when the pipeline is scheduled to come back online. One hundred forty
days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Germany still relies on Russia for
more than a third of its gas supply, while France imports about 17% of
its gas from Russia.
