Peskov: Russia values its reputation as reliable energy supplier, but West's hostile bacchanalia makes it ponder situation

MOSCOW. March 9 (Interfax) - Russia values its reputation as a reliable supplier of energy resources, but the hostile bacchanalia taking place in the West makes Moscow ponder this situation, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.

"We have said repeatedly that Moscow was, is and will be a reliable guarantor of energy security not only for the European continent, but also at the global level. And even now, as you see, energy resources are being supplied," Peskov told reporters, responding to a question from Interfax as to whether Russia is ready to continue supplying energy resources to countries that have supported the sanctions.

"And Russia values this reputation of a reliable supplier of energy resources. The European leaders unanimously admit that Russia is fulfilling its obligations under all current contracts continually and in full. But you see the bacchanalia, hostile bacchanalia carried out by the countries of the collective West, which, of course, makes the situation very difficult and makes us seriously ponder it," he said.
