Putin, citing a Russian fairy tale in which a fox lets a wolf’s tail freeze, threatened Wednesday that Russia could cut off energy supplies to Europe if European governments go through with the price caps.
The European Union has suggested in recent hours that it will be considering imposing a price cap on Russian gas in an attempt to squeeze Putin further and restrict the Kremlin’s ability to fund
The cruel remarks coincide with Russia using energy as a way to try to get its way in Europe. Just days ago, Russia announced Moscow was haltingpipeline gas flows to Europe, due to some maintenance work. But when the pipeline was supposed to come back online early this month, Russia said it would remain closed until the West lifts sanctions on Russia.
Uncertainties about the coming winter could put pressure on Europe, as prices are already high in Europe and threaten to jump higher as the cold months approach, according to Rystad Energy.
