[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the 12th that Russia is ready to supply natural gas to Europe again through the undamaged part of the Nord Stream pipeline, but German officials quickly rejected the proposal.

A German government spokesman said that Germany has seen that Russia is no longer a reliable energy supplier and has therefore ruled out the possibility of using Nord Stream 2.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline (Nord Stream), which transports Russia to Europe, was damaged by "unknown forces" at the end of September. After the pipeline ruptured, natural gas leaked.
