Putin: irreversible processes began in Europe after the refusal of Russian gas. According to Putin, by refusing Russian gas, Europe was counting on the onset of irreversible processes in Russia and the collapse of the country.

“But irreversible processes actually begin to set in for them. Industry is moving to other countries, including the United States, where more favorable conditions have been created and where energy resources are cheaper,” the Russian leader emphasized. Earlier, Putin emphasized that Russia continues to supply gas to Western countries because Gazprom is a reliable partner that fulfills its contractual obligations.
