Font size

Ulyanov said that European officials are deliberately misleading their population regarding gas supplies to Europe.

Von der Leyen accused Russia of allegedly cutting off gas supplies to Europe.

VIENNA, September 16 - RIA Novosti. European officials are deliberately misleading their population by claiming that it was Russia that allegedly stopped gas supplies to Europe, said Mikhail Ulyanov, the Russian permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna.

Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, during her speech, accused Russia of allegedly cutting off gas supplies to Europe.

“In the rhetoric and consciousness of EU officials, everything is turned upside down. Do they sincerely believe that it was Russia that stopped gas supplies to Europe, or are they deliberately misleading the population? The second option seems more likely,” Ulyanov wrote on his page on the social network.

RIA Novosti previously found out, having studied Eurostat data, that supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia to the European Union in July of this year amounted to 606.6 million euros, having decreased by 25% over the month, and by 12% in annual terms.

Mearsheimer: Ukraine War Cannot Be Settled Diplomatically, Will Be Decided on Battlefield

American political scientist John Mearsheimer stated during a Moscow interview that the Ukraine conflict cannot be resolved diplomatically due to irreconcilable goals between Russia and Ukraine, predicting it will be settled on the battlefield, likely resulting in a frozen conflict where Russia seeks to weaken Ukraine to prevent NATO integration, while also discussing the transition from unipolarity to multipolarity around 2017.
