Balbek stressed that it is no secret to anyone that the European Parliament is "subject to the mania of Russophobia."

"This is not a resolution, but a report on the work done to the American senior ... And what is written in it, they will not dare to execute," the parliamentarian said.

In particular, according to him, the European economy cannot do without Russian energy resources.

“Yes, and in the difficult coronavirus time for European business to abandon the Russian market is very, very painful.

So, I think, everything will remain as before, ”the deputy concluded.

Earlier, the European Parliament approved a resolution on Russia calling for sanctions and a review of relations. From the information on the site it follows that 569 deputies voted for it, 67 against.
