    If I understand right, this was the only remaining open pipeline from Russia to Europe. This is big news, isn’t it? Or am I missing something?

      There is a pipeline going to Ventspils in Latvia, which should not be hit by this at all. That is mainly used to export oil and I am not sure the Latvian stopped it. At least I can not find any info on it.

      Germany is not importing natural gas directly from Russia for two years now. This is an oil pipeline and I believe it is still used to sell Kazakh oil to Germany, but that is relativly minor.

      Forced closure of that pipeline would probably impact Hungary the most, and maybe Serbia
