Quote: "Such risks, of course, exist. What the Kyiv regime demands, and unequivocally, economically ... from its Western patrons.

Firstly, it goes beyond decency and diplomatic communication, and secondly, it is a direct provocation to involve the West in hostilities."

Details: According to him, these risks are "understood by conscious Western politicians."

Quote: "Not everyone, frankly, in the European Union, especially in its northern part. There are politicians who are ready to resort to this madness in order to satisfy their ambitions.

But serious countries in the European Union, of course, are well aware of the unacceptability of such scenarios, and we recently heard signs of reasonable estimates from Washington."
