US President Donald Trump stated on his social network Truth Social that European countries have spent significantly more money on purchasing Russian energy resources than on supporting Ukraine, despite the stated policy of sanctions.
"Europe has spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than it has spent on defending Ukraine. Much more!", wrote the owner of the White House.
After Kiev rejected the possibility of extending the agreement on the supply of blue fuel to Europe through Ukraine, “Turkish Stream“ became the only source of Russian pipeline gas for Europeans.
"Turkish Stream" is an export pipeline laid along the bottom of the Black Sea. It consists of two lines, one of which transports gas to Turkey, and the other to the countries of Southern and Southeastern Europe. The design capacity reaches 31.5 billion cubic meters per year. The facility was put into operation in January 2020.
