Russia is the second largest producer anyhow. https://www.worldometers.info/gas/gas-production-by-country/ https://www.worldometers.info/gas/gas-production-by-country/ Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan (lowerest of them all, placed 24) combined produce less than 1/3 of the amount Russia produces. Also wiki (not the best source maybe, but whatever): >Gas for northern Europe largely came from the Nadym Pur Taz (NPT) region in Western Siberia, but these large fields are now in decline due to depletion. >Since the early 2010s Gazprom has been developing replacement gas fields in the Yamal Peninsula area of the Russian Arctic. As of 2020, Yamal produces over 20% of Russia's gas, which is expected to increase to 40% by 2030. >The shortest pipeline routes from Yamal to the northern EU countries are the Yamal–Europe pipeline through Poland and Nord Stream to Germany. During the winter peak Gazprom does not have the capacity to redirect flows to the central pipeline corridor through Ukraine, built for the NPT gas flow. Gazprom intends to decommission some pipelines, over forty years old with high maintenance costs, in the central corridor as NPT production declines
