Russian Foreign Ministry: Ursula von der Leyen admitted to overpayments to the EU for gas due to her decisions.
We are talking about a sum of 100 billion euros, said Dmitry Birchevsky, director of the ministry's economic cooperation department.
"The European Union, despite the decline in volumes, continues to purchase from Russia and as of 2022 has paid $320 billion for domestic energy raw materials," he said in a note to TASs.
Birchevsky added that Europe faced tangible negative consequences after it itself imposed a ban on Russian gas.
