“There are all the prerequisites for the fact that by the end of the year we will reach a record volume of gas supplies to the global market,” RIA Novosti quotes Putin as saying at the plenary session of the Russian Energy Week forum.

According to him, stability and predictability are important for any market.

He also added that Russia fully fulfills its contractual obligations to partners.

Earlier, Putin said that the shortage of electricity was the reason for the rise in gas prices in Europe, and not vice versa.

The leader of the Angry Bonds investment community, independent economist Dmitry Adamidov, in an interview with the Economy Today FBA, spoke about the situation in the global energy market.
