The Russian Embassy in Washington underlined that Russia is a reliable energy supplier, and the campaign to blame the country for rising US gasoline prices is an attempt to earn political points on Russophobia.

On its Twitter account, the Embassy explained that "according to the Fox Business channel, the White House officials have begun to involve popular bloggers in a propaganda campaign aimed at pinning the blame for the fuel crisis in the United States on the Russian leadership."

According to the Embassy, "This news confirms Washington's desire to earn political points on Russophobia."

It is clear to reasonable people that the external enemy image of 🇷🇺 is needed for the 🇺🇸 leadership to justify its own failures in addressing domestic problems.

It pointed out that "it is clear to reasonable people that the external enemy image of Russia is needed for the US leadership to justify its own failures in addressing domestic problems."

The Russian side underlined that Washington prefers to ignore "the fact that the true cause of the crisis and the record inflation in the United States is unsecured trillion-dollar financial injections into the economy and sanctions wars against undesirable states."

The Russian Embassy in Washington affirmed that Moscow "is a reliable supplier of energy resources. This fact has been proven through decades of mutually beneficial partnership with all countries of the world."

"Our country did not refuse to supply fuel to the USA," the Embassy stressed, underscoring that "it was the US administration that ceased purchasing hydrocarbons from Russia, ignoring the needs of ordinary American citizens."

This comes as US President Joe Biden recently banned imports of Russian oil to the States, over Russia's special military operation in the Donbass region.
