Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said that the United States and Western countries shouldn’t blame Russia and its conflict with Ukraine for high gas prices domestically.
“Supplies of Russian oil, say, to the American market do not exceed 3 percent. This is a negligible amount. And their prices are growing. We have absolutely nothing to do with it,” Putin said on Thursday, according to state-run media.
Putin further said that the White House is trying to pass off its own economic failures on Russia, adding that they “just hide behind these decisions in order to deceive once again their own population.”
