European leaders are acting stupid to complain about the gas situation after the imposition of anti-Russian sanctions, Austrian politician, presidential candidate Gerald Gross said on Fellner! LIVE on the OE24.TV channel. «If you said that you no longer need oil and gas from Russia, then you don’t need to complain later that you were left without them,» the politician stated. On his Twitter, Gross added that such behavior is similar to schizophrenia. He mentioned that Europe is having difficulty replacing Russian blue fuel with supplies from other countries, such as Qatar. The left party predicted a social catastrophe in GermanyThe politician also cited the words of the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who called on Europe to prepare for the worst this fall due to the energy crisis. According to Gross, if the EU, when deciding to abandon fuel from Russia, did not think about the consequences, then this is either stupidity or criminal negligence. After the start of the Russian special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, the West increased sanctions pressure on Moscow. Many countries have announced the freezing of Russian assets, calls have become louder to abandon energy from Russia. These measures turned out to be problems for Europe and the United States, provoking a rise in food and fuel prices.
