Our enemies have tried to sabotage the infrastructure of TurkStream and Blue Stream" - the Russian Embassy in Turkey informed Izvestia newspaper.
Earlier, at a press conference, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russian intelligence agencies had information about Kiev preparing to sabotage gas pipelines in the Black Sea and this information had been shared many times with Turkey.
TASS reported on March 1 that Russia increased gas exports to Europe through the TurkStream pipeline by 4.5% in January and February 2026 to 3.25 billion m3 according to estimates based on data from the European Gas Transportation System Operators Network (ENTSOG).
In February, Russia's gas exports to Europe through the TurkStream pipeline decreased by 12% compared to January and decreased by 2% compared to February 2025, to 1.52 billion m3.
In February, the average daily capacity of the TurkStream pipeline towards Europe (54.4 million m3) was 2% lower than in February 2025 and 2.5% lower than in January 2026.
The TurkStream gas pipeline, running from Russia to Turkey through the Black Sea, has a capacity of 31.5 billion m3 and is designed to supply gas to Turkey and southern and southeastern European countries. This is the last operating gas transport route of Russia to Europe after Ukraine ended the transit of Russian gas.
The starting point of TurkStream is the Russkaya gas compression station near the city of Anapa.
Previously, TASS quoted ENTSOG data as saying that gas supplies through the TurkStream pipeline to Europe in 2025 increased by 8.3% to a record level of 18.1 billion m3.
Russia also slightly increased its gas supply through pipelines to Turkey by the end of 2025, to 21.2 billion m3. Russia supplies gas to Turkey through 2 Trans-Black Sea pipelines, Blue Stream and TurkStream.
