May 1, Fineko/abc.az. Over Jan-Apr 2026, Russia increased gas exports to Europe via the Turkish Stream by 7% up to 6.2 bcm. However, in April supplies decreased to 1.23 bcm (-28% versus March and -2% in annual terms), and capacity utilization was about 72%.

ABC.AZ reports that despite the downturn, by the end of 2025, exports via this route reached a record of 18.1 bcm. The pipeline remains the key and virtually the only route for Russian pipeline gas supplies to Europe, also providing supplies to Turkey through the Blue Stream and Turkish Stream systems.
