The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, has stated that Russia does not deny anyone the supply of energy resources.
In the interview given to Pavel Zarubin, a part of which the journalist posted on the Telegram channel, the Russian President noted. "They constantly said: Russia does not supply gas, Russia restricts it. We don't limit anything. We give it our all here, please. And the most reliable partner, it turned out, is the Turks. He noted that he is going to Europe with the "Turkish Stream."
The Russian President also reminded us that another gas pipeline to Europe passes through Ukraine, and the Ukrainian side has closed it. "They closed it, not us. What is the meaning? They received money from us for transit. No matter how surprising it is. They say "aggressor, aggressor," but they collect the money. Few people talk about that."
According to the Russian President, gas is exported to Europe through Poland. He reminded me that a line of the "North Stream" works against the terrorist act.
According to Putin, the European countries hoped that if they did not buy Russian gas, Russia would collapse faster than irreversible consequences would begin for them. But, according to the Russian President, irreversible processes have already started in the European economy.
