“As for the internal problems of the EU, here European leaders habitually relieve themselves of responsibility, shifting it to others,” she is quoted by the website of the Russian ministry.

She stressed that the European Union continues to baselessly accuse Russia of provoking food, energy, and now also economic crises.

“The purpose of such disinformation stuffing is obvious - to somehow try to hide that the problems in these areas that the international community and especially developing countries face are caused primarily by the ill-conceived policy of the European Union itself, the attitudes firmly rooted in the West for the ruthless exploitation of natural and demographic resources of the countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America, as well as the trade and economic “war” against Russia, including the introduction of unilateral sanctions that are unprecedented in scope and consequences for the global economy,” she stressed.

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the United States is showing double standards in its approach to setting the price of its gas.
