Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have heightened concerns about Russian gas flows, prompting the United States to assure European allies it will help them find alternative supplies.
러시아와 우크라이나 사이의 긴장감은 러시아의 가스 공급에 대한 염려를 고조시키며 미국이 유럽 동맹국들에게 대안 공급을 찾도록 도울 것을 보장하도록 만들었다.


The U.S. administration has approached Qatar and other major energy producers to see if they can help should Russia attack Ukraine and the United States impose sanctions on Russia.
미국 행정부는 카타르와 다른 주요 에너지 생산국들와 접촉해 러시아가 우크라이나를 공격해 미국이 러시아에 제재를 가하게 되면 미국을 도울 것인지를 확인하고 있다.


Russian gas flows to Europe have been lower than usual for several months already. European politicians say Russia is using high gas prices as leverage in a dispute over the Gazprom-backed Nord Stream 2 pipeline project.
유럽으로의 러시아 가스 공급은 이미 몇 달간 평소보다 적었다. 유럽 정치인들은 러시아가 높은 가스 가격을 가스프롬의 지지를 받는 노드스트림2 송유관 프로젝트에 관한 논쟁에 영향력으로 이용하고 있다고 말했다.


Gazprom says it is meeting commitments to European customers.
가즈프롬은 유럽 소비자들과의 약속을 지키고 있다고 말했다.


Where else can Europe get supply from?
유럽은 또 어디에서 공급받을 수 있는가?


Europe relies on Russia for around 35 percent of its natural gas. Most comes through pipelines including Yamal-Europe, which crosses Belarus and Poland to Germany, Nord Stream 1, which goes directly to Germany, and via Ukraine.
유럽은 35% 정도의 천연가스를 러시아에 의존하고 있다. 대부분 우크라이나를 통해 벨라루스와 폴란드를 지나 독일까지 가는 야말-유럽과 바로 독일을 향해 가는 노드스트림1을 포함한 송유관을 통해 수입된다


Europe's gas markets are linked by a network of pipelines. Most countries have cut reliance on Russian gas over the years and there are also more supply routes that bypass Ukraine.
유럽의 가스 시장은 송유관의 망으로 연결되어 있다. 대부분 국가들은 지난 몇 년간 러시아 가스에 대한 의존도를 삭감했고, 또한 우크라이나를 건너 뛰는 공급 노선이 더 많이 있다.


The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said Ukrainian transit of Russian gas has been reduced by 70 percent, from over 140 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 1998 to less than 42 bcm in 2021. (Reuters)
전략국제연구센터는 우크라이나의 러시아 가스 수송은 1998년 1400억 세제곱미터에서 2021년 42세제곱미터 미만으로 70% 줄었다고 전했다. (로이터)
