Medvedev calls EU-US deal ‘anti-Russian’ over potential fallout for Russian oil and gas
Modern Diplomacy ^ | 7/28/2025 | Reuters

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.

Buying American oil and LNG instead of Russia’s is not suicide.

Nuland and Sullivan, the pair that blowed up Nordstream.....

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.....

Of course it’s anti-Russian, Russia deserves some anti.

Von der Leyen — finally — defends herself over ‘Pfizergate’

“The implication that these contracts were somehow inappropriate against the European interests is, by any measure, simply wrong,” von der Leyen says.

Trump is now poised to go back to Putin with, “ Let’s make a deal.”
