Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev made a statement in his opinion of the Telegram TV channel points out that European governments are “competing to speak angrier about their desire to sever all ties with Russia.” According to Medvedev, “poor Balts, raging Poles and Finns fleeing NATO” are particularly active, and they also express their desire to leave the country's gas and oil, but they will not take this step “in anticipation of a cold winter.”
According to Medvedev, polls show that the majority of residents of European countries are against anti-Russian sanctions. The vice-president of the Security Council called on ordinary Europeans to express their position more actively.
