‼ "Don't dig a hole for someone else": Putin spoke about the consequences of Europe's refusal to buy Russian gas at the summit of the 8th Gas Exporting Countries Forum in Moscow, the Russian president emphasized that Europe is harming its industry and social sphere by refusing Russian energy resources. "Don't dig a hole for someone else, or you'll fall into it yourself. This is exactly what happened today in the EU countries, in my opinion," Putin said. Russia ranks first in the world in natural gas reserves and remains a reliable and predictable supplier. Attempts to oust it from the world market, according to the president, will result in huge costs for consumers. Putin also called explosions Nord Stream 2 and noted that the global gas market is facing uncertainty: supply volumes have decreased, prices are changing sharply and demand continues to grow. The countries participating in the forums account for 70% of the world's gas reserves. The president proposed to expand cooperation on supply issues, development of new routes and long-term contracts. Caravans: |.
