“The whole current European policy towards Russia is a disgusting cocktail of arrogant rudeness, adolescent infantilism and primitive stupidity,” former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev ranted to Telegram about all the sanctions the EU has imposed on Russia. Medvedev can only laugh at the EU’s plan to become independent from Russian energy. He threatens: “The cold weather will come soon…”
The former president of Russia is angry about the sanctions imposed since the start of the war: “I don’t care that Europe has a large industry and a developed agriculture and that EU citizens want to live in warm houses with water. The most important thing is that the Russians have to suffer.”
“Winter not cancelled”
After EU countries agreed on an emergency gas-saving plan on Tuesday, Medvedev reminded the West that winter had not been canceled. According to him, the EU would soon realize that alternative supplies of gas, oil and coal would be too expensive or simply unrealistic.
Deliveries via Nord Stream 1 severely limited
But Russia is also responding to EU sanctions: On Wednesday, Russian gas giant Gazprom severely curtailed its supplies through the Nord Stream 1 Baltic Sea pipeline, which leads to Germany. Since then, only 20 percent of the possible capacity has been delivered. The price of gas has already risen sharply.
The former president mocks Western politics and says the energy crisis has already led to hysteria among Westerners. He claims that Europe’s way out of the crisis is to supply more weapons to Ukraine. He predicts “a war to the bitter end” and reminds the EU: “The cold weather will come soon…”
