This study evaluates short-term and medium-term measures of Europe and Russia. In addition, a SWOT analysis is made, both sides’ strengths and weaknesses are discussed, and their opportunities and threats are explained. As a result, it is revealed that both sides will suffer from the gas war. However, in the medium term, Europe's developing LNG market and renewable resources may emerge stronger from this war.
