Moscow, March 18 (Xinhua) — There have been no signals from European countries that they want to engage in dialogue within the framework of energy cooperation, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated at a briefing on Wednesday.
“There have been no signals from the Europeans that they want to at least engage in dialogue,” said D. Peskov.
"Regarding the president's order to consider the possibility of an early exit from European gas markets, this issue is under consideration. A sufficiently in-depth analysis is required," the Kremlin spokesman emphasized.
According to him, the war in the Middle East has provoked profound upheavals in global energy markets.
"The energy market is currently experiencing very serious upheavals due to the war in Iran. And, of course, these upheavals make it difficult for everyone to predict market dynamics," D. Peskov noted.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the government had been tasked with assessing the feasibility and advisability of halting energy supplies to the European market. In January, the EU Council approved a regulation on the phased phase-out of Russian LNG and pipeline gas.
