Intervention comes a few hours after the Russian Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov, which states that “Europe has no one to rely on but the Americans, who are increasing LNG production,” and if it “plans to completely abandon Russian gas supplies,” reaching the goal must be safe “so that it can do so by 2027″. Shulginov, speaking to the Eastern Economic Forum, added that the European program for energy independence from Russia would have different consequences. He pointed out that “the pricing situation in itself confirms that it is not that easy.”
He concluded: “Moreover, it will lead to a setback in the sector, including the production of chemicals and gases. It will be a whole new life for the Europeans. This is too much for them.”
