The British reacted to Russia's proposal to "save" the Kingdom from high gas prices

3

On Sunday 17 October on the BBC, Russian Ambassador to Great Britain Andrei Kelin suggested that Moscow could help London survive the gas crisis and “save” the United Kingdom from high gas prices.

At the moment, Russia satisfies no more than two percent of the British needs for gas fuel, but if necessary, it can increase the supply of energy resources.



British social media users and media readers reacted in a peculiar way to this news... Here are some comments from the pages of the Daily Mail:

If Russia provides only 2 percent of British consumption, then this cannot be the main factor affecting prices in our country. And Putin cannot be blamed for problems with the supply of energy resources to Europe.

- so the reader with the nickname Poacher thinks.

Why can't the UK be self-sufficient?

- rhetorically asks the user Where I want to be.

Huge deposits of coal and gas, plus coastal oil around and under our feet, and should we buy all of this from Russia? We found ourselves in this critical situation because of their "green" agenda, nothing more!

- Calltruth is indignant.

Russia did not close our mines, coal and nuclear power plants and gas storage facilities, did not stop the production of gas and oil, did not force us to rely on windmills and solar panels. No, it's all because of our high environmental taxes and massive immigration. We need a new party to bring Britain back to number one in the world

- offers Riteuptoere.

The Russian gas company Gazprom is an excellent resource supplier. They know their stuff well, that's a fact

- Boris Bunter is sure.

I remember how in 2010 Ukraine did not have money to pay for gas, and it simply stole fuel that was sent to European countries. Then the idea of ​​Nord Stream was born. If you are so worried about Ukraine and the loss of transit through its territory, you can pay for gas from your pocket.

- said Boris.

Open coal mines and run more coal-fired power plants. Here's the solution to the problem.

- the reader writes Passing the buck.

Russia is a beautiful country with a noble proud people and amazing architecture. England must forge a special relationship with our Russian brothers and sisters and abandon those pesky Yankees whose main contribution to the world is death, destruction and fast food.

- the user Denis Cotterpin attacks the USA.

And here are a couple of comments from the newspaper's Twitter account:

Glad to hear about Russia's return to the game. I hope we will be able to build mutually beneficial cooperation and work together

- so thinks GARY DIXON.

Whether you love him or hate (Putin), you can't help but admire the way he acts

- notes John Fountaine.

      The British reacted to Russia's proposal to "save" the Kingdom from high gas prices

      - What a crafty little article ...
      - But who will believe in "British luboff" towards Russia and in "British good intentions" towards Russia ... - Everything is so simple and unpretentious ...
      - Well, with these "British feelings" - everything is clear ...
      - But personally, I don't understand anything ... - but how can Russia "save" the Kingdom from high gas prices "??? - For a cheap price, perhaps, Russia will start supplying Russian gas for GREAT BRITAIN, or what ??? - Or has Russia offered to supply its gas to Britain in exchange for one of the British aircraft carriers ???
      - What is the essence of the "salvation" precedent contained in Russia's proposal ???
