Novak called the statements of EU politicians on the background of the energy crisis a "hype"

“Politicians can say whatever they want, but then the economy still crawls out, for example, as happened this year on the European gas market.

These are the HYIPs that we see today.

Yes, politicians do not want to accept their mistakes there, "TASS quotes him.

Earlier, Alexander Novak, explaining the reasons for the rise in gas prices in Europe, recalled that prices are influenced by a number of speculative factors when traders "accelerate" them.

According to the head of the Bundestag Committee on Economics and Energy Klaus Ernst, after a long heating phase last winter, gas storage facilities in the EU were empty.

Moreover, LNG supplies to Europe decreased because suppliers were able to achieve higher prices in Asian countries and instead of Europe began to supply it there, he said.
