Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that Europeans will have to replace fuel skating fuel. The head of state joked that soon the Dutch will be forced to go to visit each other to get warm, report RIA Novosti.
As part of the plenary session of the Russian Energy Week forum, Putin noted that energy prices rapidly increased due to errors of European governments. The head of state brought an example of a court decision in the Hague, according to which Royal Dutch Shell should reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 compared with the level of 2019. According to the president, the situation may be worse if unprepared people will make decisions affecting the energy market.
Putin reminded that in the Middle Ages, the Dutch in cold weather moved along the frozen rivers and skating canals. “If it continues further, then in the Netherlands will return to such a movement tool, they will ride each other’s skates, because it will be expensive on cars to move, including electrical ones. And they will ride not only in order to ride Point A to be able to move, but in order to warm up, “the president joked.
The head of state also promised that Russia would reach record gas supplies until the end of the year to ensure the stability of the energy market. Putin noted that Russia fully fulfills the obligations under contracts and ensures uninterrupted gas supplies to Europe. According to him, the country is ready to provide partners as much gas as they ask.
