“Russia is using economic terror, price crisis pressure, and poverty to weaken Europe just when its full force is needed to defend against terror in the war that Russia has been waging for more than six months”
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of economic terrorism by trying to prevent European nations from stocking up on gas ahead of winter.
Zelenskyy spoke in a video address to an energy conference in Norway. His comments come as Russia’s Gazprom plans maintenance this week to halt gas flows along the Nord Stream-1 pipeline that links Russia and Germany via the Baltic Sea.
“They want the Europeans to be scared. To draw wrong conclusions and give up European values in favor of illusory price reductions. Russia is using economic terror, price crisis pressure, and poverty to weaken Europe just when its full force is needed to defend against terror in the war that Russia has been waging for more than six months. Full-scale war! And in general, its invasion of Ukraine has already been lasting for eight years,” Zelenskyy said.
