Europe continues to buy cheap Russian gas, leading to lower prices for consumers.
Europe has been buying gas from the Kremlin all along, business goes on smoothly, and no one even coughs.
The fact that you’re now trying to sell it to country folk as some kind of “terrible surprise and sad story” is already a world record in naivety. Seriously… such fantasy-world living you don’t even see in the cartoons you produce.
The only difference is that the elite have stuffed their pockets so full over the past three years that their pants are falling down to their knees, while you eagerly do their subcontracting. And then you speak to the people with great seriousness, claiming that “terrible sanctions” are supposedly happening… Sanctions? They’re more like a theater show: lots of smoke and lights, but backstage champagne is being poured and laughter is aimed straight at the audience’s face.
Kremlin dreamers, go on dreaming – but don’t be offended if no one takes your fairy tales seriously anymore.
The positive side is that prices are dropping and people can keep warm!
