So far, there are no real alternative to Russian gas supplies to Germany and that country understands it perfectly well, Russian Ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechayev said on Sunday.

“No real alternatives to our pipe gas are seen so far, because liquefied natural gas requires a lot of work, including the construction of the necessary infrastructure and terminals, which are now lacking. The German economy is now trying to find some additional sources but it is admitted that so far there is no real alternative to Russian gas, which is cheaper and more reliable and has necessary infrastructure,” he said in an interview with the RBC television channel.

According to the Russian diplomat, people in Germany are skeptical about the measures the collective West is trying to use against Russia in the energy sector. “It all tells negatively on people. Germany is transiting to green energy, to renewable energy sources and is refusing from nuclear power engineering and is planning to refuse from the use of coal. So, gas is practically the only source of energy for household and the economy in order to keep the current economic growth rates and ensure social protection and energy security,” he stressed, adding that the talks about curtailing Russian gas or oil supplies entail price growth in the country.

“And now, when gasoline prices exceed two euros per liter, ordinary people, naturally, feel it. And they 9do not demonstrate understanding,” Nechayev added.
