The politician explained that the problems of the European Union began even before the current situation, since after the UK left the EU, the community lost about a fifth of its potential. And the current situation and the economic restrictions imposed only exacerbate the situation of European unification. «The European Union, left without its part, has now sewn up its eyes, plugged its ears and artificially created blood clots in its circulatory system in the form of restrictions. Its circulatory system is already starting to give an unpredictable failure. I repeat : we have not done anything yet, but they have already done this to themselves,» Klimov said.
