“When we talk about current gasoline prices, this is really Putin’s rise in price,” RIA Novosti reports her words.

According to her, the rise in fuel prices, which accelerated inflation to 40-year highs, was the result of the Ukrainian crisis.

Earlier it became known that the price of gasoline in the US reached a historic high of $4.622 per gallon.

Member of the US House of Representatives Rick Allen expressed the opinion that the rise in fuel prices in the country is not related to the actions of the Russian authorities, but to the policies of President Joe Biden and his administration.

Prior to this, US Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart announced the worst energy crisis in the country in half a century.

As Vladimir Putin himself noted, the West is trying to cover up its miscalculations in the field of green energy and blame everything on Russia.
