I see that that the EU has pressurised Bulgaria into suspending a new gas pipeline from Russia, paid for by Gazprom, which bypasses Ukraine to supply gas to Europe....
The US is cutting the nose off the face of the EU, we are a rival and we (EU) are being dealt with. The EU is not cutting it's own gas pipelines.
'Bulgaria halts work on gas pipeline after US talk's'...
"Reports on Sunday had quoted Serbian ministers as saying the work was on hold until the EU, Russia and Bulgaria resolved their dispute."
"On Monday, Russia's EU envoy Vladimir Chizhov said the move by Brussels was a "creeping shift to economic sanctions against Russia"."
"It is hard to shake off the feeling that the European Commission's blocking of the start of work on the construction of Bulgaria's key section of South Stream has been done for purely political purposes," Russia's Itar-Tass news agency quoted him as saying."
The only place the US is even mentioned is:
"The EU and the US have imposed sanctions on a number of Russian individuals and companies following Moscow's intervention in Ukraine and its annexing of the Crimean peninsula, but Gazprom has not been targeted."
And even from the link you provided:
"We will decide on further developments following consultations with Brussels," he said after meeting with US senators.
Still, nice attempt at defending your EU friends. Hope your gas supply doesn't go out....
'Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski announced that he had "ordered all work to be stopped".
"We will decide on further developments following consultations with Brussels," he said after meeting with US senators.'
