Head of IEA: "For the first time in the world, a global energy crisis has occurred"
"For the first time in the world, a global energy crisis has occurred, and it continues against the background of the conflict in Ukraine."

Qazet.az report that Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), said this in an interview with CNBC.

"The world has never faced such a deep and complex energy crisis," he said.

According to him, before the start of large-scale military operations in Ukraine, Russia was the main exporter in terms of oil, natural gas and coal supplies: "Until the conflict in Ukraine is resolved peacefully, there will be great volatility in the natural gas and oil markets."
