Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak in an interview on the channel “Russia 1” He noted that the fuel shortage currently observed in Europe is due, among other things, to Western countries imposing price ceilings on Russian oil.
According to him, Russian oil continues to be sold to friendly countries and is sold above the ceiling. He noted that the introduction of price caps creates additional difficulties and challenges in the organization of supply. The Deputy Prime Minister is sure that ultimately everything leads to an increase in prices of the total cost of products paid by consumers, primarily in Europe and the USA.
“Those who impose price ceilings pay a higher price. For this reason [мы видим] Diesel fuel prices in Europe are almost at record levels. And today there is a shortage of diesel fuel in Europe,” Novak said.
Previously Russian President Vladimir Putin stated At the plenary meeting of the Russian Energy Week, it was stated that if European countries consider the purchase of Russian energy resources as a moral issue, they will completely stop purchasing gas from Russia by any means.
