MOSCOW, 13 Oct – PRIME. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak advised the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to send increased gas and electricity bills to politicians who have abandoned Russian gas and long-term contracts in favor of spot supplies.

“I would advise Mrs. Ursula Von der Leyen to send all these bills to those politicians who made the decision to switch to spot prices, to refuse long-term contracts with our companies, to refuse Russian gas, energy resources,” Novak said in an interview. Naila Asker-zade on TV channel “Russia 1”, commenting on the proposal of the head of the EC to consumers to send increased bills to Russia.
