"These processes have nothing to do with Russia, moreover, these spot gas prices also do not affect the prices of pipe gas, and recipients of pipe gas in Europe are not subject to this high volatility, because the price is calculated there using a different formula," he said at a briefing with reporters at.

Peskov noted that the Russian side will not be affected by the sharp jumps in gas prices.

“Of course, the earliest possible commissioning of Nord Stream 2 will significantly balance the price parameters for natural gas in Europe, including on the spot market,” he added.

Earlier it was reported that the price of gas on the European futures market for the first time in history exceeded $ 950 per 1,000 cubic meters.
