Moscow, October 15 /Xinhua/ — The share of Russian gas in European countries' imports has fallen from 44 percent to 19 percent. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak at the Russian Energy Week forum in Moscow.

He noted that Russia is prepared to increase gas supplies to Europe if requested. However, he asserted that reorienting Russian energy supplies to the East is not a necessary measure, but a strategy determined by the country's president.

A. Novak also stated that Russia's economy and energy sector are successfully adapting to all global changes. Energy infrastructure, the domestic market, and partnerships with many countries continue to develop.
