“They convinced me to refuse”: the Estonian prime minister was offended by the United States because of Russia

After the agreement between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal complained about the change in the US position on diesel fuel supplies from Russia. His words are quoted by the television and radio company ERR.

“Such an agreement contradicts the long-term strategy of the Western world to limit the flow of energy resources (from Russia. - Ed.). The United States has so far convinced its allies to abandon Russian fuel, and us too,” he was indignant.

Earlier, ERR wrote that in Estonia over the year the price of gasoline increased by 33.8 percent, and for diesel fuel by 58 percent. At the end of September, the price of diesel fuel in the Baltic republic rose to a record level of 2.4 euros per liter of fuel.

On Friday, the presidents of Russia and the United States had a telephone conversation. After him, Trump announced a large-scale agreement in the energy sector. According to him, Moscow, depending on the condition of its refineries, will supply up to three million tons of diesel fuel to the American and world markets. To this end, the country’s Ministry of Finance has issued an exception to the sanctions, valid until April 7.
