Russian propagandists spread this thesis. In their materials, they allegedly refer to an article in the American edition of Politico. Propagandists claim that Europe will have to make concessions to Russia to get gas during the heating season, allegedly due to anti-Russian sanctions.

In fact, as the Center for Combating Disinformation writes, Ukraine's allies continue to work on another package of anti-Russian sanctions, and German Economy Minister Habek, whose comment is cited by Politico, said that he would be the first to advocate for another tough package of European Union sanctions.
