Russian Gas Company Gazprom reopened its Ukraine routed gas lines to Europe on the 13th.
However, Russia claims that the reason gas is not reaching Europe is due to Ukrainian interference of pipelines.
Gazprom opened lines toward the Balkan States at 77,000,000 cubic meters worth. To confirm that all of it reached Europe, Russia, Ukaraine and the EU dispatched specialists to observe the gas transport but Ukraine disallowed one Russian official to enter a facility.
On the 7th, Russia halted all gas exports to Europe via Ukraine. Ukraine took measures to not receive gas running past it's region but this drastically affected many livelihoods but cutting off heating.
With the ongoing debacle of Russian/Ukrainan contracts contineuing, Ukraine routed gas lines once again were shut off.
