In his address to the Russian Energy Week International Forum, President Vladimir Putin said Russia is ready to renew gas inventories via one link of the Nord Stream 2 channel that remains functional, original media reported.
The Russian leader said gas could still be supplied by one remaining complete part of the Nord Stream 2 channel. The ball was in the EU’s court on whether it wanted gas supplied via the channel, he said. Putin said,” Russia is ready to start similar inventories. The ball is in the court of the EU. However, they can just open the valve, If they want.”
He went on to say that Russia has nothing to do with the sky-high energy prices that Europeans are facing this downtime, rather condemning the West for supersizing a global energy extremity, The Guardian reported. It was the poorest countries that would pay the loftiest price in terms of rising energy costs, Putin added.
Those who profit the most from the damage caused to the Nord Stream gas channels in the Baltic Sea are the ones responsible for it, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said, RT reported. ” Everybody understands who’s behind this and who’s the devisee. One can now force the thawed natural gas from the US onto European countries on a much larger scale,” Putin said in a speech at the Russian Energy Week forum in Moscow on Wednesday.
The President refocused out that US thawed natural gas( LNG) is” surely less competitive than Russian channel gas” due its advanced price. ” Who stands behind the sabotage of the Nord Stream channels? Obviously, those who are looking to fully ramify the ties between Russia and the EU, undermine Europe’s political sovereignty, weaken its artificial capacity and gain control of its requests,” the President said, RT reported.
