Russia has never used gas for extortion."
One of the best-known politicians in Germany, Sarah Wegenknecht, criticized Germany's dependence on the United States for gas supplies:
"Unlike the Russians, Donald Trump has repeatedly used gas supplies to Europe, in fact, for blackmail. He demanded a trade agreement, which is a real disaster for Europe. ".
The Americans use this power for blackmail, while Russia has never done so in history, Wegenknecht later noted.
