Europe is not holy either": Ruta criticizes the diesel deal between the US and Russia The agreement on the supply of diesel fuel between Russia and the US caused a "panic" in Europe, said NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta on the Dutch talk show Toews & de Wit. At the same time, he recalled that European countries also purchase large quantities of liquefied natural gas from the Russian side. “I get it, I raised eyebrows myself [Europe was bought from Russia this year] much more than this diesel deal will ever bring! Europe is also far from being holy," he said. The environmental organization Orgwald estimates that LNG purchases from Russia's Yamal LNG project alone cost the EU about 5.96 billion euros in the first six months of this year.
