Putin demands to strengthen support of Russian energy companies operating abroad

Putin added that it is necessary to step up work in international energy organizations

NOVO-OGARYOVO, November 29. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded increased support for domestic energy companies operating abroad.

"I would like to draw attention to the need to strengthen support of Russian companies operating abroad, since quite often the possibilities of multilateral and global energy cooperation are being used not as a tool for development, but as a tool for deterrence," he said at a meeting of the Russian Security Council.

Putin added that it is necessary to step up work in international energy organizations, and use potential of international associations with Russia’s participation, "to stop these threats.".
