Douglas Murray: Putin wanted Europeans to be ‘reliant’ on Russian energy
German reliance on Russian energy has been a “massive factor” in the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, according to author Douglas Murray.
Mr Murray argued Russia had spent “tens and tens of millions of pounds” in attempts to stop European countries from fracking gas.
“A massive Russian funded disinformation campaign scared off politicians in the UK from even starting fracking,” Mr Murray said.
“There were intrusions like this, by the Russians, by Putin, for many years because he wanted Europeans to be reliant on his reserves of gas.”
