Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the initiative to increase the gas supply on the market against the background of rising energy prices in Europe, writes TASS. He turned to the Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novaku during a meeting on energy development.
“You offered to increase the gas supply on the market, on the stock exchange to knock down speculative demand and excitement in Europe. This can be done, but, of course, it is possible and you need to do this not on space in Europe, but as you said, On the stock exchange in St. Petersburg, “Putin said.
Novak, in turn, said that Russia could stabilize the situation with prices with additional gas volumes on the stock exchange. He also indicated that the country must first satisfy the internal demand.
