“Accusations about Russia's alleged interest in the gas crisis in the EU are also unfounded.
In fact, this is another example of anti-Russian propaganda.
Excessively high prices are narrowing demand, thereby undermining confidence in the gas industry as a whole.
We absolutely do not need this,” the diplomat said.
He added that Russian suppliers strictly fulfill all contractual obligations.
The day before, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said that Russia was using energy supplies to Europe as a weapon against the backdrop of a surge in world fuel prices.
Earlier, Anna Bodrova, senior analyst at the Alpari information and analytical agency, commented on gas quotes in Europe in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper.
