Zakharova: It makes no sense to discuss an increase in Russian gas supplies to the EU now

The persistent unwillingness of the leadership of the European Union to reconsider the refusal to import Russian energy makes it meaningless to speculate about a possible increase in natural gas supplies from Russia to Europe. This was stated at a briefing by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.

"It is a thankless task to discuss the possibility of increasing Russian gas supplies to the EEC market in the current conditions. While it is necessary to proceed from the realities that exist. There are no prerequisites for the fact that the current leadership of the European Union and a number of countries The EU will reconsider its position regarding the rejection of Russian energy carriers, leading to a stagnation of the European economy and a more radical decline in living standards in the EU countries, because the incomes of ordinary Europeans are falling — there are no such trends to revise the position or policy of the EU at this stage," the diplomat said, quoted by TASS.
