“A sad sight” – the senator compared Berlin with Moscow
Anti-Russian sanctions are costly for the economies of EU countries, and therefore many Western politicians are beginning to doubt the rationality of their decisions.
Senator Alexey Pushkov announced this at a round table in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Europe looks quite pale in comparison with Russia, which has been subjected to the most powerful sanctions pressure.
And this undermines the rational principle in the European policy of breaking with Russia. And we hear this periodically erupt from the Prime Minister of Slovakia Fico, then from the Prime Minister of Hungary Orban. This is two, but twenty-two are silent, and forty-two doubt.
And it’s impossible not to doubt it. Orbán says: “We paid 350 billion a year for gas, and now we pay 650 billion a year.” So what can we say here? And this contrast is a very important point,” said Pushkov.
He emphasized that Russian cities even look better externally.
“Now they ask Tucker how the situation is in Russia, where, according to many Western publications, there is famine and complete degradation.
I'm not even talking about the appearance of the city of Moscow. Well, I was in Berlin before this crisis - it was a sad sight. At nine in the evening we met three people on the main street and, as it turned out, they were refugees from Iraq. The Germans were hiding somewhere from European success.
And this psychological pressure undermines the emphasis on isolation and pressure on Russia. Because why, if it doesn’t work out? If it worked out, then it would be a different matter, but it doesn’t work out,” the parliamentarian added.
