Hong Kong Has The Highest Gas Rates Worldwide

A number of western sanctions against Russia, which is one of the biggest gas and oil supplies to the world, have skyrocketed the prices in the US, Europe, and other parts of the world.
Russian gas supplies to other countries are also being monitored by the West as it's regularly advising and barring other countries from purchasing gas from Russia. The West believes that the Russian economy runs on massive income which it gets from selling gas and oil and a proper ban on Russian gas exports could force Moscow to end the Ukraine war as it wouldn't have enough funds for it.
