The United States will not allow Russia to avoid the consequences of aggression in Ukraine using oil and gas.
Europe and the world must switch to clean energy.
U.S. President Joe Biden tweeted.
“Yesterday Russia threatened two of our allies with cutting off energy supplies. Let me be clear: we will not allow Russia to resort to intimidation or blackmail to avoid sanctions. And we will not allow her to use oil to avoid the consequences of her aggression,” Biden wrote.
According to him, the United States is working with other countries, in particular, South Korea, Japan and Qatar to help European allies threatened by Russia with gas blackmail.
Earlier it became known that ten companies in the European Union opened ruble accounts with Gazprombank.
At the same time, it has recently become known that Gazprom has completely suspended gas supplies to the Bulgarian and Polish operators m due to non-payment in rubles.
At the same time, a Bloomberg source close to Gazprom said that, at least until the second half of May, the Kremlin will not turn off other countries that refuse Putin's terms. At this time, the following payments must be made, on which the future fate of gas supplies to Europe will actually depend.
The European Commission warned EU members to buy Russian gas for rubles – a violation of sanctions.< /p>
It should be noted that Russia currently supplies gas via pipelines to 23 European countries.
