Medvedev appreciated the idea of ​​the EU to introduce a “ceiling on gas prices from Russia”

MOSCOW, Sep 2 — PRIME. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of the Russian Security Council, believes that if the EU introduces a ceiling on gas prices from Russia, there will simply be no Russian gas in Europe.

“The time has come for the EU to impose a price ceiling on pipeline gas from Russia,” said Auntie von der whatever Leyen. It will be like oil. There will simply be no Russian gas in Europe,” Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that she considers it possible to introduce a maximum price for the supply of Russian pipeline gas to Europe at the present time.

The day before, Mechthild Wörsdörfer, Deputy Head of the European Commission’s Directorate for Energy, said that the EC is studying various options for limiting gas prices, including the introduction of such limits on imports from Russia, on the wholesale sale of this fuel within the European Union.

According to her, at an extraordinary meeting scheduled for September 9, EU energy ministers will discuss the introduction of gas price limits in the EU.
