Peskov spoke about Europe's attempts to interfere with the deal between Russia and the United States

European Union (EU) sanctions may hinder the implementation of a deal between Russia and the United States on diesel fuel. This was stated by the press secretary of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, RIA Novosti reports.

“The fact that this can interfere is certain (...). The topic of European cynicism, as Mr. [US Treasury Secretary Scott] Bessent said, is widely discussed in the world media. The fact is that European countries, of course, like all other countries in the world, are active buyers of Russian oil and Russian petroleum products,” the Kremlin representative said.

Thus, Peskov answered the question whether Moscow sees the risks that Europe will interfere with the implementation of the Russian-American deal by introducing new sanctions or other means.

Earlier, Politico magazine, citing sources, reported that European leaders are preparing to demand tougher sanctions against Russia at the EU summit on Thursday, October 15, in response to the deal between Putin and the head of the White House on diesel supplies to the United States.
