Archival photoMOSCOW, Sep 14Europe is not the only consumer of natural gas, there are many regions in the world with ambitious development plans where Russian gas can be in demand, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters. «Europe «This is not the only consumer of natural gas and not the only continent that needs natural gas to ensure high rates of development. There are regions that, by the way, are developing at a faster rate and have much more ambitious development programs. In these regions, gas demand may well be compensate for the lack of demand in the European direction,» Peskov said in response to a request to comment on statements that Russia would have to burn its gas after Europe refused it. After the start of a special military operation in Ukraine, the West increased sanctions pressure on Russia, which led to an increase in prices for electricity, fuel and food in Europe and the USA. At the same time, as Putin pointed out, the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and the sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire world economy. The Russian Nord Stream 2 project was never launched, and Nord Stream is operating in a limited format. Europe, on the other hand, announces plans to completely abandon Russian gas over time, but for now it is being supplied — to set a price ceiling for it.
