SAMARKAND, Uzbekistan (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin on Friday denied Russia had anything to do with Europe’s energy crisis, saying that if the European Union wanted more gas it should lift sanctions preventing the opening of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Speaking to reporters after the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Uzbekistan, Putin blamed what he called “the green agenda” for the energy crisis, and insisted that Russia would fulfil its energy obligations.
“The bottom line is, if you have an urge, if it’s so hard for you, just lift the sanctions on Nord Stream 2, which is 55 billion cubic metres of gas per year, just push the button and everything will get going,” Putin said.

“Let them eat cake.”
Or freeze to death. No matter.
“Only Kremlin apologists believe anything Putin says.”
Only the silly believe this is about Putin.
It’s about the Russian state pursuing what they believe to be their best interests.
Mad Max
I’ve been saying this right along...”Before it’s over, Germany will open Nordstream II. That would really p.... o..Zelensky...cuz Ukraine charges a hefty “fee” for any gas going through their lines to the EU. Nordstream I & II bypass Ukraine.
The people will have to demand it. The politicians committed to the Green Agenda are going for broke.
Nice Thunder Dome reference.
“Who here said that?”
Are you even American?
“Who here said that?”
Perhaps all those here who forgot Brandon was in bed with Ukraine all throughout the Trump administration.
Let Ukraine and Russia Duke it out. All the same crap anyway.
What a facia brute.
“Perhaps all those here who forgot Brandon was in bed with Ukraine all throughout the Trump administration.”
Again, name names....who said it?
Never say never.IMHO, next go around after the Ukraine war is over, Germany will go back to Russian gas because it is so cheap but will have put in place LNG alternatives and LNG ports in the event Russia gets aggressive again.
Why? do Americans post BS like that?
“Why? do Americans post BS like that?”
Thanks, didn’t think you were American.
Makes sense now.
thx
As they say... "you're right as rain"... it really is THAT SIMPLE.
Unfortunately, under that scenario far too many politicians could no longer be able to stuff their pockets with kickback money.
Didnt say i wasnt an american idiot
Does Karine Jean-Pierre support opening the Nordstrom pipeline?
“Didnt say i wasnt an american idiot”
Progress.
For you.
Now again, name me a single pro-Ukraine person whos said:
“But doing so would MELT all the glaciers, at least according to the Globalists (Ukraine Cheerleaders) here.”
