Kremlin's sanctions warning to the EU: The agreement with the USA may be in danger

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov answered journalists' questions about current issues in the capital Moscow.

Regarding the news of the US-based Washington Post newspaper that Washington and European countries were discussing the peace plan, which includes stopping the conflicts in Ukraine along the front line, Peskov said that he had no information about this issue.

Reminding US President Donald Trump's statement that an agreement had been reached to stop attacks on the energy infrastructures of Russia and Ukraine, Peskov emphasized that there was nothing to add to the previous statements and said, "Contacts on this issue continue."

When asked why Trump used definitive statements regarding the agreement in question, Peskov recommended that this question be directed to the US President.

Answering the question about the EU's discomfort with the US allowing the export of Russian diesel fuel and its preparations for new sanctions on Russian energy resources, Peskov mentioned that Europe's possible sanctions could prevent the implementation of the agreements reached between Russia and the USA.

Peskov said, "There is no doubt that this (EU sanctions) can create an obstacle. However, as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated, the issue of Europe's hypocrisy is widely discussed in the world press these days."

Pointing out that European countries, like other countries, are active buyers of Russian oil and oil products, Peskov said, "Russia is a country that offers competitive products to world markets. We will continue to do this."

Stating that there is no direct connection between the US allowing the export of Russian diesel fuel and Moscow's attitude in the Ukraine negotiations, Peskov emphasized that cooperation between Russia and the US in the field of energy is mutually beneficial.

Peskov said, "This cooperation serves the interests of the United States, global energy markets and Russia. That is why it is happening."

Making evaluations about the disruptions in the services of the Russian technology company Yandex, Peskov noted that the issue in question was being addressed at the government level.

Peskov stated that it was premature to talk about possible financial losses suffered by users due to the disruption and said, "The company is a strong and large company. It is currently faced with some difficulties. Of course, this issue is being discussed in the government. The company is taking urgent measures to eliminate the consequences of this attack."
