Moscow, January 30 /Xinhua/ — Russia's statements about its readiness to resume gas supplies through the surviving line of the Nord Stream gas pipeline have received no response from Germany. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Dmitry Lyubinsky stated this in an interview with RIA Novosti.
"Our statements about our readiness to resume gas supplies through the surviving branch of the pipeline, provided there is willingness on the German side, have remained unanswered," said D. Lyubinsky.
According to him, for political reasons, the Germans have completely refused to purchase Russian coal, oil and petroleum products, and pipeline gas, and have also blocked all forms of bilateral cooperation with Russia.
"The refusal to cooperate with Russia on energy issues has had the greatest negative impact on the German economy," the deputy minister noted.
The diplomat emphasized that Moscow has no intention of persuading anyone and sees no prospects for returning to a sound energy dialogue with Berlin.
Touching on the situation around Greenland, D. Lublinsky noted that Europe's policy of "protecting" Greenland is a cause for concern for those who link their future and security to the promises of European overseers.
“Judging by Donald Trump’s reaction to this, the European ‘united front’ to defend Greenland made a strong impression on him, although not quite the one the Europeans were expecting,” he concluded. –0–
