According to the Russian satellite network reported on the 10th, Russian President Putin said on the same day that the United States is trying to deceive its people by accusing Russia of causing energy prices to rise. Putin also said the U.S. side is now trying to sign energy contracts with Iran and Venezuela. Putin said the rise in Western energy prices was due to their own mistakes.
According to Agence France-Presse, Putin said that Russia will continue to export oil and gas, including through Ukraine. "We respect all our obligations in terms of energy supply," Putin said at a russian federal government teleconference on the same day. He added, "Even the gas transport system in Ukraine is 100% full according to the contract." ”
Satellite Network said Putin supported the idea of external management of the assets of foreign companies that had withdrawn from the Russian market.
Agence France-Presse said Putin also warned that Western sanctions against Russia could lead to a spike in global food prices, which is critical to global supply chains, as Russia is one of the world's leading fertilizer producers. "Russia and Belarus are the largest suppliers of mineral fertilizers. If they continue to cause difficulties in financing and logistics of our goods, then prices will rise, and this will affect the final product, which is food. Putin said.
