MOSCOW, June 17. /TASS/. The head of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma, Alexei Pushkov, believes that the buildup of trade partnership between Moscow and Washington against the background of deteriorating relations between Russia and the European Union demonstrates a lack of solidarity between the US and EU.
"While Brussels officials are stubbornly set to continue to lose the benefits from relations with Russia, the United States is boosting trade with it at the EU expense. It’s such ‘solidarity’", the politician wrote in his Twitter microblog.
