The Kremlin has said that London’s sanctions of Moscow’s Gazprom bank, through which payments are to be made under Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rubles-for-gas scheme, mean that Great Britain won’t be able to buy Russian gas.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian state-backed news agency Tass on Saturday that British sanctions against Gazprom bank mean that the UK faces the prospect of being cut off from Russian gas supplies.
“London wants to be the leader of everything anti-Russian. It even wants to be ahead of Washington! That’s the cost!” Peskov said, according to an RT translation of his remarks.
The Epoch Times has reached out to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office with a request for comment.
