“I think, yes, we are able,” RIA Novosti quotes Manchin’s answer to the question of the possibility of completely replacing Russian oil and gas with energy carriers of American companies in Europe.
According to him, this will not allow Russia to use energy carriers as a "weapon".
He noted that he would like to completely deprive Russian energy carriers of access to world markets.
At the end of February, it became known that the G7 countries agreed to continue working to ensure the price limit for Russian energy carriers and prevent attempts to circumvent them.
According to the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov, Russia does not recognize the oil price ceiling set by the G7 countries, it works in such a way as not to harm itself.
