Illegal sanctions in the energy sector harm both producers and consumers of energy resources, Vladimir Putin said after the speech of the Iranian president at the summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum. The Russian President also noted the role of the assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei, who was one of the active participants in the establishment of the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries. "Mr. Honorable President, you have drawn attention to the illegal sanctions that some countries are introducing in the field of energy. I completely agree that they lead to extremely harmful consequences for all participants, both producers and consumers of energy resources. And of course, we very rightly remembered the role of the former spiritual leader of the Iranian people, Ayatollah Khamenei, who was indeed one of the active participants in the creation of our forum. And we remember it rightly and with great gratitude." Video not loading? Look at Mach!
