Putin: US can now supply energy resources at high prices

MOSCOW, 12 Oct — PRIME. The United States has benefited from the attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines because it can now sell its energy resources at higher prices, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at Russian Energy Week.

“Well, as they say in decent companies – “highly likely”, everything is clear, everything is clear who is behind this and who are the beneficiaries there,” he said.

The head of the Russian Federation noted that the supply of American raw materials is unreliable, since they can “float away” to other regions, where they will be offered a better price. He said this happened very recently, when American LNG tankers for Europe turned around halfway because sellers were offered a higher price elsewhere.

A gas leak on the strings of the Russian gas pipelines Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 was discovered on September 26 in the Baltic Sea. According to Swedish seismologists, powerful underwater explosions were recorded in the emergency area the day before. The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation initiated the initiation of a case on an act of international terrorism.

Agence France Presse said, citing the Prime Minister of the Swedish transitional government, Magdalena Andersson, that Stockholm does not plan to allow Russia to investigate sabotage on gas pipelines.
