European gas suppliers have only stored a small amount of gas in Ukraine for this winter – despite a much more extensive offer from the Ukrainian government. The effect on the security of supply is controversial.

The decision on the gas price cap will be made in the Council today. Yesterday night, the EU ambassadors worked on reaching an agreement once more. Also at stake are the joint purchase of gas and the rapid expansion of renewables. Meanwhile, the IEA is calling for significantly greater savings.
