Owing to your efforts and the smooth work of Gazprom’s big team, the company is dynamically developing and consolidating its positions in the Russian and world markets. It is implementing projects that can be called global without any exaggeration and, importantly, is accelerating gas infrastructure development in the Russian regions and the improvement of cities and villages.

All this has a direct impact on improving the living standards of our people and promoting our national development.”
