Russia urges UK and EU to admit mistakes to access energy

Russian presidential special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, Kirill Dmitriev, called on the United Kingdom and the European Union to acknowledge their mistakes in order to secure access to critical Russian resources.

In a post on X, Dmitriev responded to a publication quoting U.S. President Donald Trump regarding “two points” for countries unwilling to participate in the ongoing operation in Iran.

And number 3, atone, de-escalate, rebuild Nord Stream 2 at own expense, get in line for affordable and reliable Russian oil, gas, fertiliser, helium and other key commodities.

It all starts with EU/UK admitting mistakes. https://t.co/bc3NAUkkUL
