"I trust that Russia will return to 20% on Saturday, but no one can really say."European leaders fear Russia could extend the outage in an attempt to drive up gas prices, which have already risen sharply in the past year.<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62732835?at_custom3=BBC+News&at_custom2=facebook_page&at_custom1=%5Bpost+type%5D&at_custom4=F77EF682-290C-11ED-A8C1-02F92052A482&at_campaign=64&at_medium=custom7" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62732835?at_custom3=BBC+News&at_custom2=facebook_page&at_custom1=[post+type]&at_custom4=F77EF682-290C-11ED-A8C1-02F92052A482&at_campaign=64&at_medium=custom7</a></blockquote>
