Zelenskyy: Russia is causing a financial “terror”

Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Monday that Russia is causing a financial “terror” while “companies like Gazprom are creating a price crisis, causing artificial pricing in the energy market.”

Addressing at the ONS 2022 International Energy Conference which took place in Stavanger, Norway, through video conference, Zelenskyy pointed out that Russia began attacking Ukraine’s dominion in addition to Europe’s freedom.

“Energy prices have risen a lot. When winter comes, they may increase even more. There is also a nuclear danger. We should remember the Chernobyl disaster and be careful,” he added.

Emphasizing that Russia is causing financial “terror,” Zelenskyy claimed that “companies like Gazprom are creating a price crisis. There is artificial pricing in the energy market. They want to scare Europe. Every day, Russia burns the gas that it does not send across the border to Europe.
They burn it like they burn our people. Millions of euros are burned every day. We are facing a well-calculated situation. First, they create problems, and then they try to offer solutions.”

Declaring that Russia is causing new risks in nuclear energy, Zelenskyy proposed that Rosatom should as well be restricted.

“There is nuclear blackmail. Also, it is not normal for a Russian citizen to get a visa, go on vacation, and shop in European countries. It is not normal for some European companies to have reservations about whether to exit the Russian market,” on the words of Ukraine’s Leader.

Underlining that the gas market is facing stability problems in Europe, he announced that “We can all see that the threat of energy scarcity is present. We see that the prices of energy are so high that companies end up in crisis. This leads to a crisis in the labor market.”
