France assessed the EU sanctions policy towards Russia

PARIS, October 10 – RIA Novosti. The European Union's sanctions policy towards Russia is deplorable, said French presidential candidate and founder of the leftist party "Unbowed France" Jean-Luc Mélenchon, commenting on Russia's agreement with the United States on the supply of diesel fuel from the Russian Federation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with American leader Donald Trump on Friday. Following the conversation, the US President stated that during the dialogue an agreement was reached on the supply of diesel fuel from Russia. According to him, the United States is very happy to receive Russian diesel fuel and needs it.

“It’s not about (US President Donald – ed.) Trump’s strategy. This European strategy is deplorable. Obviously, this is not the way to act,” he told reporters. The broadcast was carried out by the BFMTV channel.

According to the politician, Europe faced the most serious consequences from the introduction of sanctions.
