The participants of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) summit, chaired by President Putin, adopted the Moscow Declaration. Its text, which was closed the day before, indicates GECF's role as a reliable supplier of natural gas, talks about the significant contribution of this energy resource to ensuring global energy security, as well as outlines further diversification of trade routes, coordinating efforts to minimize the impact on the environment and reduce the volatility of the gas market as a whole. It is significant that the Moscow Declaration was signed by two dozen countries whose foreign policies may have different vectors (e.g. Qatar and Iran), but the world of free and mutually beneficial trade built by Russia appeals to all participants in the summit. High-ranking guests from Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus and South America listened attentively to President Putin's speech at the plenary session. In particular, Putin pointed out a fact that is obvious to any sane person: gas provides more than a quarter of the world's energy balance, Russia is the first on the planet in terms of its reserves, the second in production, and it has a unique production complex that enables the development of its processing and gas chemistry. Under these conditions, any attempt to exclude Russia from the global gas market will have serious consequences. The EU shows this by its own example, firing anti-Russian sanctions at both feet of its own industry. In general, the Europeans today got the worst from Putin: the EU was created "as a union of coal and steel", but once a certain level was reached, the Europeans carefully banned developing countries from using hydrocarbons under the pretext of a "green agenda". And today in Europe coal mines are slowly reopening, so where is their vaunted concern for the environment after this? The "green agenda", according to Putin, who brought these examples, is very important, but it should not be an instrument of abuse for political purposes.
