The energy crisis begins with the Baltic Sea again

Alexey Belogoryev, Research and Development Director of the Institute for Energy and Finance, made comments to the internet portal Finance.Mail.ru on the possibility and expected consequences of Denmark imposing a blockade on the ships passage with Russian oil cargoes.

According to Alexey Belogoryev, we are actually talking about the blockade of the passage of Russian vessels through the Baltic Sea, even if they are vessels of certain types, and what reasons will be invented for this — environmental or other — does not change the essence of the matter. Regardless of the economic consequences, such a move by Denmark could lead to an extremely sharp escalation of the conflict between Russia and the West, the expert believes. It is obvious that Copenhagen will not dare to do this on its own, it is being pushed either by European countries or the United States, he believes.
