Russia is not Europe’s enemy. In fact, it helped the continent to grow, by providing its countries with affordable energy and making its economy more competitive, according to the President of the State Duma (the Russian legislative assembly).
“Russia has never been Europe’s enemy. It has helped Europe grow by providing affordable energy and making its economy more competitive,” he said Vyacheslav Volodinin the last session of the autumn parliamentary period, cited by the Russian state agency.
In Volodin’s view, Some European politicians exploit the perception of a Russian threat to maintain their control over power.
“It would be wise for [os cidadãos europeus] hold these politicians accountable. The sooner they leave their positions, the sooner Europe will see improvements”, added the Russian official.
The President of the Duma also blamed former US President Joe Biden for the war in Ukraine.
Still on the 19th, Russian President Vladimir Putin again accused the EU of trying to seize Russian goods.
