MOSCOW, May 13. /TASS/. The US is openly talking about plans to take control of a gas pipeline between Russia and Europe, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the RT India TV channel.
He also noted that the West was using neocolonial methods, trying to prohibit countries from purchasing Russian oil and gas.
TASS has compiled the main points from the top diplomat’s remarks.
The West uses unscrupulous methods to prevent countries from purchasing Russian oil: "Pressing everyone into not buying Russian oil is a dirty tactic. You can describe it in different ways - colonial or neocolonial - but these are methods of exploitation."
The goal is to force everyone to buy "expensive US oil and liquefied natural gas rather than cheap Russian oil." "In this way, they seek to rule the world through controlling global energy supplies."
