“Take action, European neighbours! Express yourself. Demand accountability from your [dirigeants] retarded. And we will hear you. You have everything to gain: winter in the company of Russia is much warmer and more comfortable than in haughty solitude near an extinguished gas stove and a cold radiator!”
Dmitry Medvedev
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL OF RUSSIA
The former President of the Russian Federation [2008-2012] and current Vice-President of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, seems to have been responsible for the most virulent messages from the high echelons of Russian politics for several months, which he broadcasts from his Telegram account.
“He believes that citizens of the European Union are unhappy with the policy pursued by their governments, in particular the sanctions against Russia, which, according to him, lead to ‘cold apartments’ and ’empty shelves in refrigerators’ ”, writes the daily Kommersant. Vladimir Putin’s former runner-up points to an unsourced opinion poll to claim that “more than half of European citizens do not want to break off relations with Russia”continues the economic site RBK.
“He considers that Europeans must demand that their governments be held responsible for the energy crisis and inflation”added Gazeta.ru : “For my part, I would like Europeans not to just criticize their leaders in a low voice, but to express something clear, to demand that they be punished for their stupidity”can we read further in his message.
