Russia used gas as a weapon? Isn't that illegal? And I didn't realize they'd even attacked (western) Europe!Ryan Jensen– Ryan Jensen2025-07-03 21:22:43 +00:00Commented Jul 3, 2025 at 21:22

@RyanJensen After Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 Russia dramatically cut gas exports to Europe, especially through Nord Stream 1. Supplies via Ukraine and Poland were also reduced or halted. This caused: skyrocketing energy prices across Europe, fears energy shortages going into winter, and a scramble for alternative gas sources (LNG from the U.S., Qatar, etc.). The intent and effect was to pressure Europe to reduce support for Ukraine. Russia used Europes energy dependence as a weapon to threaten European lives going into winter and the European economy.user47960– user479602025-07-04 14:28:02 +00:00Commented Jul 4, 2025 at 14:28

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
