MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian pipeline gas exports have declined by 11.4% in the first half of May from April's average level, Reuters calculations showed on Monday, against a background of low spot prices.

Average gas supplies to Europe by Kremlin-controlled energy giant Gazprom (MCX:GAZP) decreased so far in May to 67 million cubic metres per day from 75.6 million cubic metres per day in April.

Gazprom, which has stopped publishing its own export statistics, did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

Total Russian gas supplies via Ukraine and TurkStream, the only remaining routes for the fuel from Russia to Europe, have reached around 1 billion cubic metres so far in May.
