Pushkov called nonsense Johnson's words about the reasons for rising electricity prices in Britain

“What nonsense?

Did (Russian President Vladimir. - 

) Putin imposed sanctions that hit the energy sector?

Did he stubbornly seek the cancellation of Nord Stream 2?”

— he wrote in Telegram.

According to Pushkov, with such statements, Johnson is trying to justify his own decisions, taken jointly with other members of the G7.

Earlier, Johnson noted that the next months in the country will be very difficult, and electricity prices will be mind-blowing.

According to the London-based ICE exchange and gas transmission operators, the price of gas at auction in Europe has approached record levels - it has increased by about $1,000 over the week.

The head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell, in an interview with Kronen Zeitung, said earlier that the European Union would soon face serious challenges against the backdrop of anti-Russian sanctions.
