    "MOSCOW, June 19. /TASS/. Gazprom supplies gas for Europe through Ukraine in the volume of 41.7 mln cubic meters per day via the Sudzha gas pumping station, Gazprom Spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov told reporters, adding that the request for pumping through
    Sokhranovka was rejected by the Ukrainian side."

    This is odd. Isn't Ukraine really fighting Russia for its life?
    Yet it is allowing Russia to sell gas to other European nations through its soil.

    From a quick look up, 41.7 million cubic meter of natural gas a day is equivalent to 265.8 thousand barrels of oil a day. Or about 7.5 million barrels of oil a month. Easily several hundred million dollar for Russia treasury a month.

    There are other pipelines e.g. Nordstream-1 (and ready but not formally
    opened Nordstream-2). Russia can also export gas using tankers
    e.g. I thin I remember such deliveries to Kaliningrad.

    So it boils down to: Can Ukraine blockade be (sufficiently) effective?
    [cost effective]

    EU on one hand talks big about being ready to stop buying gas from Russia if Russia cuts of the supply to them, but on the other hand, they allowed their private companies to buy gas from Russia, instead. They let their private companies to comply with
    Russia request to register with Russian banks in order to pay their purchases in rubles, too. In short, one one hand EU complied to US sanction on Russia, but on the other hand allowed their private to carry on the business for them, instead. Russia
    halted gas supply to Poland in April when Poland refused to comply with registering their paying of rubles to Russian banks. Seriously speaking, Russia owns the oil and gas is one who will call the shot. Whatever prior international agreement to pay in
    Euro means nothing to Russia as US was the one that imposed financial sanction on them, instead.
