Don't dig a hole for someone else, otherwise you will fall into it yourself," Putin said about the European sanctions against Russian gas. "Terrorist attacks were carried out directly against Russian gas pipelines to Europe. They are blown up. And some countries have set up barriers to the purchase of special equipment and technologies. As a result, the global gas industry is caught in a state of uncertainty. The usual business relationships were disrupted. Prices have risen sharply, but you and I said they could go back to their previous level,” and also go back to their previous level. Additional statements by Putin at the summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum: - Europe itself is harming its industry and social sphere by refusing Russian energy resources - Russia is a responsible gas exporter, a reliable and predictable partner - Any attempt to exclude Russia from the world gas market will have serious consequences, especially drastic costs for consumers - The Russian Federation is examining the possibility of joint work with the United States in the Arctic region. Putin also invited gas-exporting countries to work on optimizing fuel supply routes.
