President Vladimir Putin on Sunday condemned as "unconstructive" an anti-trust probe launched by the EU against Russian energy giant Gazprom, saying Moscow was no longer prepared to subsidise eastern Europe.
“We believe this approach to be unconstructive,” Putin told reporters on the final day of the annual APEC summit in the Pacific port of Vladivostok after the EU Commission’s decision to probe Gazprom over concerns it is hindering competition in central and eastern European gas markets.
