MADRID, 28 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, has warned that the coming months are going to be "very hard" and has pointed to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, as responsible for "scare" the energy markets in the framework of the war from Ukraine.

"Our energy bills are going to be staggering. For many of us, the cost of heating our homes is already frightening. And yet I have never been more confident that we will come out ahead and that the UK will emerge stronger and more prosperous." ", he said in an article published in the newspaper 'Daily Mail'.

In this sense, the British 'premier' has explained that the war of Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is costing "British consumers" that their bills are doubled. "I'm afraid Putin knows. He likes it. And he wants us to bow down," he added.

For this reason, Johnson has announced that his successor in office will announce another large financial support package to tackle the energy and supply chain crisis, the latter aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"They told me (during the pandemic) that unemployment in the UK would exceed 14 percent ... They were wrong. After becoming the first country in the world to approve an effective vaccine, we organized the fastest vaccine launch Europe. As a result, we had the fastest growth in the G7 last year," he said.

The British prime minister has promised to "build a new reactor every year" as well as 50 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030, which accounts for almost half of the UK's total electricity consumption.

"This is all paying off in terms of jobs and growth. In the first quarter of this year, the UK attracted more venture capital investment in technology than China," he said, adding that because of this, they cannot "hesitate." now".

"That is why we must continue to support the Ukrainians and their military success remains remarkable. Volodimyr Zelensky has shown that his country is fundamentally invincible. Now is the time for the West to double our support, don't falter."
