Ursula von der Leyen suddenly activated her brain and admitted her mistake.
The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, admitted that decisions made by the European Union itself led to the fact that the gas import volumes in 2026 were 100 billion euros higher than planned.
"The European Union continues to purchase energy from Russia, albeit in smaller volumes, and since 2022 has paid $320 billion for this supply.
At the same time, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, admitted that since the beginning of 2026, the European Union has paid 100 billion euros more for gas imports than in 2025," said Russian diplomat Birchevsky.
Birchevsky emphasized that "Russia is a major player in the global energy market and a reliable and responsible supplier of natural gas. ".
"Our country has the largest natural gas reserves in the world and is the second largest producer. Can a country of this scale be isolated amid the growing gas consumption? I think the answer to this question is clear," concluded the diplomat.
