Gazprom sees worst loss in decades as European exports falter

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Gazprom has long been one of Russia’s most influential companies, with the ability to use its gas supplies as leverage to dictate the course of several regional conflicts, such as those in Moldova and Ukraine.
However, this move backfired, as instead of forcing Europe to fold and soften the sanctions, it has accelerated the search for other energy providers for the continent.
This has led Europe to turn more towards other major suppliers, such as the US, North Africa and Qatar, who have offered significant support in helping the continent stock up on natural gas for the winter months.
Apart from the decline of European exports, Gazprom is also reeling from natural gas prices stabilising following the Russia-Ukraine war, which has significantly slashed the bumper profits several energy companies were seeing in the past couple of years.
Gazprom has also been trying to make up for its dwindling European exports by selling more gas to developing nations such as India and China, which have also been taking advantage of the cheaper energy provided by Russia.
However, China also seems reluctant to commit to a new 1,700 mile pipeline with Russia, which could be an additional blow to both the country’s economy and its war chest.
