Medvedev noted the joy of the Russians, whose houses and apartments were recently connected to the gas supply. 

He drew attention to the "smiles on the faces of people who had just received gas."

“Well, what is called, feel the difference.

And someone switches to coal and firewood.

But this is not with us, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, Medvedev said that the European Union decided on the gas price ceiling out of impotence.

Prior to this, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that the introduction of a gas price ceiling carries the risk of the EU losing supplies and redirecting them to other markets.
