I hope that in the next decade Russia will be able to diversify its consumer base, not just selling 70-80 of its gas to Europe. Russia should transport and sell its gas to markets such as China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, India and so on... so that it is not that dependant on Europe. Because Europe is playing with Russia, Europe is extremly brutally using its political leverage knowing that Russia cannot sell its gas to other markets.
