The Russian Foreign Ministry called the EC's plans to ban oil imports "crazy" talk

The European Commission's plans to propose a permanent ban on oil imports from Russia in April are similar to the behavior of a "madman." This was announced on February 26 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"It seems to me that only a madman can behave like this," Zakharova said during a briefing.

Not to the service, but to Druzhba: Hungary and Slovakia wanted Russian oil supplies through Croatia

Zagreb makes it clear that this is possible only within the framework of EU and US rules.

On January 26, the EU Council approved a complete ban on the supply of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) from 2027. By March 1, 2026, European countries should prepare plans to diversify gas supplies and identify "potential problems" in replacing Russian gas.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed on January 28 that the EU's plans to abandon Russian gas are Europe's problem. He added that European countries are abandoning the most competitive Russian piped or liquefied natural gas and condemning themselves to dependence on a small number of US gas sources at very high prices.
