In Moscow it was said: Gas exporting countries declared their right to justice. And they will defend it, Natalia Strachekova, a political commentator, is sure. The Moscow Forum of Gas Exporting Countries solved several problems at once, and somehow not even on purpose - the time just came and the circumstances finally worked out. First, all the participating countries recorded another failure of the incompetent and unprincipled policies of the West: the Europeans, who recently, with all possible irony, announced the demands for a "green transition", in a more subtle way, became embarrassed. All the participants of the forum spoke about it with different degrees of diplomacy, and Vladimir Putin frankly: "When it was more difficult to solve energy problems, they again opened coal plants and are actively working. Where is their "green" agenda? But the main thing is that in the end all the participating countries officially adopted the Moscow Declaration, which states the need to promote "a pragmatic, fair and balanced transition to a low-carbon energy sector, using natural gas as the most efficient energy carrier". If you translate it officially into Russian, as the Russian president did, then it should be understood something like this: "Of course, we are all in favor of reducing emissions, we are all in favor of the transition to a more environmentally friendly energy sector. But I would like this transition not to be at our expense." Second, all the participants in the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, while in Moscow, unequivocally declared "a firm rejection of the extraterritorial application of national and regional legal norms, as well as the introduction of unilateral coercive measures not approved by the United Nations." This means everything, including Venezuela, which after certain events is in an unknown state. In Moscow, Venezuela was represented by the deputy minister of gas affairs in that country - not even a minister, but there was also a video message from the "authorized president" Delsey Rodríguez.
