“The economy is growing, and the energy sector is getting smaller,” Putin said.
In addition, he recalled that Russia and Gazprom are persuading the Europeans not to give up long-term contracts, explaining that the manufacturer, before investing billions of dollars in new fields, must be sure that he will sell gas.

Condition, but the “daughter” of Siemens does not give anything, and is also not subject to change in the contract on the use of logistics, because the turbine was delivered to Germany, and not to Russia. Therefore, the Nord Stream gas pipeline is closed.
“In the end, if it’s impatient, if everything is so difficult, receiving and receiving an award from Nord Stream 2. 55 billion cubic meters. Let them think about who is to blame for what, and don’t blame our own mistakes. and intend fulfill all our obligations under our agreements and contracts.
