On the afternoon of July 26, exchange prices for gas in Europe for the first time since the beginning of March exceeded $2,000.

Earlier, the director of the Energy Development Fund, Sergei Pikin, in an interview with RT, said that the increase in gas prices in Europe was caused by a reduction in gas supplies from Gazprom.

According to his forecast, in the future, gas prices may rise to a new level.
