According to RIA Novosti with reference to the ICE exchange, there is an increase of more than 38%.
The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the rapid rise in gas prices in the European market will be an inevitable consequence of the abandonment of Nord Stream 2.
According to Aleksey Grivach, Deputy General Director for Gas Problems of the National Energy Security Fund, the rise in prices is due to the market's nervousness about possible interruptions.
He stressed that the normalization of gas prices in the coming months "should not be expected."
