Russian President Vladimir Putin himself has knocked down oil prices, on which his country depends.

This in an interview with the "Observer" said American historian, publicist, author of the book "FSB blows up Russia" Yuri Felshtinsky.

"As for oil prices, they are high when peace and prosperity reign on the earth, and not when all are immersed in military conflicts. Putin does not understand this. He believes that the dependence is inverse. Whenever oil rises above $ 100 a barrel, it uses the earned money to invade a neighboring state, in the hope that oil will rise in price even more because of the threat of a big war. And after the war, it only falls, "Felshtinsky noted..

According to him, in 2008, Putin himself broke the price of oil by invading Georgia.

"In 2014, Putin again crashed oil prices by invasion of Ukraine. While the war is on, prices can not rise. But Putin, I repeat, does not understand this. So in this sense, Putin is not acting in the interests of Russia and the Russian people, "the historian summed up..

As reported by the "Observer", Russia will help electricity with ORLYO.
