Just keep in mind, it was not us, Russians, who banned the gas supplies to Europe, it was the EU who attempted to destroy the Russia's economy following it's Master – the USA. We, Russians, are happy to make sure adequate cooperation with the people of Europe. Unfortunately, people of Europe chose to follow the rules imposed by their lunatic politicians. We are ready to supply gas irrespective of the fact that your politicians are supplying arms to Nazi Ukraine armed by the USA.

Europe? Not yet. Macron and Putin together are trying hard to make the EU suffer, but it won't happen. Bulgaria, Albania, Romania, Moldova, Italie and Ukraine have made first big steps to victory over Russia and Iran's energy blackmail and their attempt to sell their oil through Armenia. Because of that, the US imposed another package of sanctions on Armenia. The [ODED]GUAM countries will win eventually.
