“For its part, Russia intends to continue uninterrupted supplies of this raw material, including LNG, to world markets, improve the relevant infrastructure, and increase investment in the gas sector,” he said at the opening of the summit within the framework of the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries, RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

As Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said earlier, the launch of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline today can stabilize the situation on the European gas market.

He also noted that Russia has fulfilled all of its long-term gas supply contracts in 2021.
