The United States has there has never been a lack of perseverance in influencing its partners in Europe. This was stated by the press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov. He noted that Washington states what and who should do it. A spokesman for the Kremlin expressed hope that common sense would prevail in Europe and think about its own interests.
“European states are consistently and very vigorously trying to strengthen the direction of foreign policy and security in their integration processes. This is one of the pillars that has always faltered in the EU, and Europeans are desperate to strengthen the EU's foreign policy on world affairs. It doesn't work very well, “said Peskov. He stated the reasons for the failure. Firstly, there is the strong influence of Washington.
Previously, Peskov explained that European countries buy gas at high prices because they reject long-term contracts.
Peskov referred to President Vladimir Putin's words about conditions of energy cooperation with countries that buy gas from Russia. According to the press secretary, Europe has distanced itself from the principles of long-term contracts, market and transparent relations.
