According to Russian news agency TASS, "Russia Today" and other media on the 22nd, President of the Russian State Duma Volokyn said at a meeting that Europe is buying American natural gas at the same price as Chanel perfume, this practice is damaging its own economy.

"The gas the United States supplies to Europe is not Chanel, but they value its smell as precious as French perfume. They buy this gas to destroy their own economies, and at the same time blow up our gas pipelines, making things worse." Volodin said European leaders lack a sense of responsibility for the interests of their citizens.

Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Europe has followed the United States to impose embargoes or price limits on Russian petroleum products and natural gas, resulting in a sharp rise in energy prices and remain high today. In a speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, last year, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban said that the EU's slowdown in economic growth and high energy prices are largely due to the EU's abandonment of Russian fossil fuels.
