Russia does not intend to reduce the gas price for Greece. On the eve of the meeting of the President of the country Vladimir Putin with the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Sochi, the Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with the TV channel ANT1, transfers RIA News…
The reporter said the Greeks had been hit hard by rising fuel prices and asked if Moscow was going to help. “Would you like us to supply natural gas for free?” – Peskov inquired in response to a reporter’s question.
The representative of the Russian President noted that natural gas prices under the existing agreements are stable and are determined by formulas tied to oil.
“You simply sign a contract with Gazprom, which is valid for a specific period, and if it is a long-term agreement, you will continue to receive natural gas at the predicted price. Not at a price that can range from $ 500 to $ 1,100 (per thousand cubic meters) overnight. So it will be fixed, “- explained Peskov.
In November, Sergei Komlev, head of Gazprom Export’s contract structuring and pricing department, warned that rising gas prices in Europe could lead to a serious crisis in the industry. According to him, there is “nothing good” in such galloping prices, since the degradation of demand for gas has begun in Europe, when, due to the high price, electricity producers reduce consumption.
