MOSCOW: Moscow and Washington are currently in talks on the Nord Stream pipelines, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Channel One in an interview.
"Of course, there are differences. But is it only in the interests of Russia and the United States to restore normal energy supply in Europe? Nord Stream pipelines are being discussed," he said.
"It will be interesting if the Americans use their influence on Europe and will force it not to reject the Russian gas. That would look surreal," the Russian minister said.
In his words, "fuel costs are several times higher for Europe and its businesses than for US businesses."
"At the same time, people like [Vice Chancellor of Germany] Robert Habeck, [European Commission President] Ursula von der Leyen, [German Defense Minister] Boris Pistorius - all of them say that they will never allow restoring the Nord Stream pipelines. These people are either [mentally] unhealthy or suicidal," the Russian minister said.
