Russian energy giant Gazprom's average daily natural gas supplies to Europe via the TurkStream undersea pipeline rose three per cent from a year earlier to 51.9 million cubic metres in August, Reuters calculations showed on Thursday.
Turkey is the only transit route left for Russian gas to Europe after Ukraine chose not to extend a five-year deal with Moscow that expired in January 2025.
Calculations based on data from European gas transmission group Entsog showed that total Russian gas supplies to Europe via TurkStream were 1.61 billion cubic metres last month, up from 1.56 bcm in August 2025.
For the first eight months of the year, supplies increased by 3.5 per cent year on year to about 11.9 bcm.
Gazprom, which has not published its own monthly statistics since the start of 2023, did not respond to a request for comment.
The company's gas exports to Europe sank by 44 per cent last year to only 18 bcm, the lowest since the mid-1970s, Reuters calculations show.
Russian pipeline gas exports to Europe peaked at about 180 bcm per year in 2018-2019.
