Baku-APA. Russia’s ambassador to the EU has linked the EU’s move against the South Stream gas project with the West’s pressure on Russia because of the crisis in Ukraine.
The EU’s move can be qualified as “creeping economic sanctions against Russia”, Russian representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov said on Monday, APA reports quoting ITAR-TASS.
“European Commissioner for Energy Guenther Oettinger linked the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline with the situation in Ukraine,” he said.
