- Deliveries are expected to be less than the standard 160 million cubic meters per day
- Deliveries are expected to return to the levels seen on July 11, ie only 50-60 million cubic meters
- According to one source, the Kremlin has not yet made a decision on whether to resume gas supplies
- There are voices that the repair of the turbine in Canada was only a pretext and is not needed for the proper operation of the gas pipeline
- On the other hand, if the turbine is still needed, then the resumption of deliveries can only take place at the level of 50-60 million m3 and only in August, after the turbine is installed, deliveries can increase to standard levels.
- Europe must continue to find other available sources of gas and energy, while limiting gas consumption itself
- Smaller gas supplies from Russia will not be sufficient for Europe taking into account the winter period
- On July 14, Gazprom sent letters to 3 recipients indicating that the transfer was reduced by force majeure, which could suggest that supplies may be disrupted in the future (or may not even be resumed)
- UBS indicated that without Russian gas the profits of European companies could be reduced by up to 15%
- UBS expects an additional 20% drop on the Euro Stoxx 600 index and a drop in EURUSD below 90 cents

- UBS points out that this is however the worst case and not the baseline scenario
