Russia's 10-day routine maintenance ended on the 21st on the 21st of Russia's major gas pipeline "Beixi-1" to restore gas supply.The gas supply on the day was about 40%of the full load, consistent with the level before routine maintenance.In mid-June, Russia reduced the supply of natural gas through "Beixi-1" to Germany by nearly 60%.
