The launch of gas via Nord Stream 2 and an increase in gas sales on the electronic trading exchange of St. Petersburg could help Europe overcome the energy crisis, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said at a meeting on energy development with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

LNG shortage and speculative factors that need to be investigated had a significant impact on the rise in gas prices in Europe. "Speculative factors are also driving up prices very strongly today, and here, most likely, we cannot do without investigating [actions] of exchange players, because the current price does not reflect the current situation," Novak said.
