Vladimir Putin has said that Moscow is going to switch energy relations with all countries to a market footing, the ITAR-TASS news agency reports.

“It is apparent that real energy security is achievable only in case of united responsibility of all participants in the energy chain; I mean all types of energy – oil, gas, nuclear energy,” he said at a ceremony of receiving credentials from ambassadors on Thursday.

Putin said that “with the aim of unconditional realisation of this approach, Russia is taking measures to switch relations in the energy sphere with all countries to a transparent market basis free from any political conjuncture”.
