Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Monday that a framework trade agreement struck between the European Union and the United States was “anti-Russian” likening it to a de facto ban on buying Russian oil and gas.
The U.S. struck the deal with the EU on Sunday, imposing a 15% import tariff on most EU goods.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said in a statement afterwards that the agreement would help the bloc fully phase out Russian fossil fuels in favour of American alternatives.
“Purchases of U.S. energy products will diversify our sources of supply and contribute to Europe’s energy security. We will replace Russian gas and oil with significant purchases of U.S. LNG, oil and nuclear fuels,” von der Leyen said.

As Europe and their elites commit suicide, someone will control whatever remains - either Russia, or the USA.
Ursula von der Airhead is only slightly smarter than Kammy.
She’s got to be one of the dumbest blondes on Planet Earth.
Ursula? Cool! I’ve got to watch some classic George of the Jungle cartoons now.
Buying American oil and LNG instead of Russia’s is not suicide.
This guy was a rational, productive President but has sense lost his mind.
Ironically, that may have helped Trump in his current negotiating pressures on Putin. Knowing that, the two of them might be at the bottom of the Baltic with Krazy Glue and duct tape as we sprak.....
Watch out for that tree! 😂😂😂
Of course it’s anti-Russian, Russia deserves some anti.
How much is this going to cost the average taxpayer?
“The implication that these contracts were somehow inappropriate against the European interests is, by any measure, simply wrong,” von der Leyen says.
Russia will learn once again…Capitalism rules the world. You would think they would catch on a little quicker.
Well, bye.
Trump is now poised to go back to Putin with, “ Let’s make a deal.”
Depends on how much European stuff you want to buy.
