Kremlin's gas embargo. Three consequences for Europe and

Sergei Fursa Columnist, investment banker, the Russians finally recognized that everyone knew so. They turn off gas as a response to EU sanctions and that while the sanctions are valid, the north stream will not work. Transit through Ukraine will probably stop soon. Yesterday they played in Bulgakovsky Voland and said that Anushka had already spilled oil under the turbine. And today they speak frankly.

Video Day Russians say that Europe is fighting against them, taking unfriendly steps, imposing sanctions. The Russians do not understand that Europe imposes sanctions in response to Russian aggression. The Russians behave like a small child who was put on a buckwheat after she did harm. Or just like children who refused to buy goodies after poor behavior. And these children are offended by punishment. Without perceiving the connection of this punishment and your actions.

The logic of the Russians is simple. They attacked Ukraine because they had the right. Europe imposes sanctions, although it is not their business. Therefore, the Russians disconnect Europe, because it started the first. And the most cuded that even Medvedev, who threatens Europe is the shutdown of gas, then nuclear weapons, and other Kremlin elders, believe in their right. And this indicates that they did not expect such a reaction of Europe. And they respond emotionally. What is good.

Well, first, it is good that Russia has dared at a gas embargo. Europe would not take such a step. And for some time he would finance the Russian army. Plus, this will make it impossible to return to the case as usual, because European leaders simply will not be able to notice aggressive steps and then compromise with Putin. So, Russia itself burns bridges. And Himars are not necessary. Secondly, the crisis of the Russians will accurately use the tariff Maidans this winter in Europe.

They have already started. Early. In Prague. Well, Moscow has financed marginal parties all over Europe for decades and it's time to pay with accounts. We will definitely see such protests of yellow vests in France or Nazi parties in Vienna and Berlin. Will this lead to a change in the course? Unlikely. The elections are not soon. And all the tariff Maidans for money are similar to each other. This is a minimum Maidan. Third, they can really provoke a recession in Europe.

But it will hit more in Russia, because it will collapse oil prices. On which the Russian budget is kept. A kind of idea. And so, we will constantly hear from Russian agents that the world is tired of Ukraine. But for some reason, financial support for the Ukrainian budget has been increasing for some reason in recent months. In August, Ukraine received more funding than it needs a month. And new plans from Americans guarantee the stability of the budget by the second quarter of 2023.
