Zakharova: The Anglo-Saxons want to control the EU by making it abandon Russian energy
Mariya Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, believes that EU countries are under pressure, including internal pressure, to abandon Russian energy resources and be completely controlled by the Anglo-Saxon world.
Zakharova commented to journalists at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum on the prospects of the EU abandoning Russian energy resources, saying, "The Anglo-Saxons are exerting great pressure on EU countries. There are also those who are lurking, who seem to be in the EU institutions in Brussels, but their actions are not for the benefit of the citizens of EU member states, but directly against their interests. One of the goals is to have the EU and Western Europe completely controlled by the Anglo-Saxon world."
Zakharova added that the overall sovereignty of Europe, including energy sovereignty, and the ability to supply fuel according to its own will has always been provided by Russia to European countries.
She emphasized, "I think that for people in Western Europe, it is best to understand two things: first, the history of their own country; second, economic indicators. By combining this information, they can figure out what is beneficial for them."
Previously, according to Reuters, citing three diplomats, EU ambassadors had agreed to submit a bill to ministers at a meeting on October 20 to abandon Russian oil and gas by 2028 for approval.
