Just how far will Moscow go to keep Europe hooked on its natural gas?
NATO says Russia is working with activists who are trying to stop shale gas projects that are part of the region's plans to diversify its energy supply.
"I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engages actively with so called non-governmental organizations, environmental organizations working against shale gas -- obviously to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas," said NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
The former Danish prime minister said Europe needed to develop alternative supplies so that "one single energy supplier is not able to blackmail one single nation."
