Ex-Putin adviser proposes 'smart embargo' on Russia to end war
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- Andrei Illarionov, the former chief economic adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin, tells CNN's Jim Sciutto that he thinks imposing a "smart embargo" on Russia, where money accumulated by countries dependent on Russian gas and oil is not given back to Putin, could end the war in Ukraine quickly. #CNN #News
Wow. I know Russians will see this man as a traitor but I see a man trying to save its people. Very brave sir. True patriot
Indeed, he is a traitor.
Fair enough

Yes man is a Russian hero
@@brightdayafro2804 how does Putin have so many fan boys? They adore and want him as a leader. You want me to buy you a own way plane ticket to Moscow? Live under a dictator and get back to me how much you love him
AMEN to everything that man said. It's a beautiful thing to hear when a Russian tells the truth and stands for what is right.
I think a peace deal is very simple , Russia and Ukraine needs to extend the cease-fire at the steel plant until Ukraine forces leave and they can return to Kiev or western Ukraine , they need to extend the cease-fire , I still don't think Russia is to blame for the war because this should have been solved in 2014 when Russian demands were ignored , now that the war started , it needs to end and we need to remove the sanctions on Russia
I am a democrat and I voted for Biden and I think his doing a great but we need a long term plan were we remove sanctions on nations like Russia or Iran or Cuba and we focus on our domestic issues , sanctions on other nations have achieved nothing and sanctions are immoral , these sanctions are the wrong policy and they have done nothing to improve our own economy
We need to stop all domestic drilling in this country and we need to import oil , its cheaper , its cleaner and it helps create jobs in this country , from shipyard workers to exporting oil drilling technology , we have the best technology when it comes to oil drilling equipment in America , we could also convert some of our steel factories in order to sell drilling equipment .
we need to remove sanctions on Russia because NATO needs Russian oil , Ukraine could have done more to prevent this war but now the war needs to stop , Russia can return areas under its control to Ukraine and Ukraine needs to stop its attacks on Donetsk and Lugansk , these two cities support Putin and they have the right to support Putin without being discriminated and they have the right to leave Ukraine if they vote to leave
Instead of creating a new world order based on trade , our sanctions have created a world disorder , we only have ourselves to blame . The war needs to stop but both Russia and Ukraine need a peace deal where both sides can improve relations in the future , Russia can return Mariupol as a show of goodwill and Ukraine would allow more independence to Donetsk and Luhansk since these two cities support Putin . A peace deal would also benefit NATO , because they can continue imports of Russian oil and it would benefit Ukraine and Europe

It must be so heartbreaking for a noble Russian patriot like this man to talk about his country in such a dire way. I can’t imagine how conflicted he must feel even as he shares the truth about these matters.
I think Russia is a great country with a lot of potential and he dreamed of a democratic Russia, which is focusing on it‘s economy. But a regime like Putins is not for Russians or Russia anymore, but for a small elite, that is obsessed with their power. The sad thing is, they will loose a lot of smart young people, because all people that criticise the regime have to flee the country or get jailed or worse.

The Russian Military has been a threat eversince Putin came into power. The invasion and intrusion to neighboring countries are manifestations of worldwide dominance with Red China opposing the western world. This man speaks of the truth and knows what he talk about. His solution to Russian, Chinese and allied auuocratic countries is the best way to stop aggression.
A patriot? What would you say if Trump or Biden's son left Russia. And from Russia he talked about how to defeat the USA. I think he's not a patriot. I think this is a traitor to Russia
@@Chipolinou What would you call people who sell their country to China and start wars with people who have the same religion? Isn’t Putin a traitor to Russia? Isn’t killing the sons of your country unnecessarily a kind of treason?
During the time Illarionov was an economics advisor Russia prospered. Illarionov left putin’s office after putin started illegally dividing country’s money with his ministers… I watched a lot of interviews with him and about him. Very smart man.
Insightful and informed comment Katia. Thank You.
That makes sense. I would want Mr. Illarionov in my cabinet, that's for sure. When you surround yourself with honest, decent, intelligent, and capable people, good things happen. Bad results inevitably occur when all you do is bring in spineless "yes" people, cronies, and crooks.
Just goes to show, some Russians can tell the truth and have very good ideas to stopping the Russian war machine.
We have even more specialist how to turn off America .
They are very rare though. The others love being herded like sheep and to be controlled by their puppeteer masters.

@@famhansen840 We just need to get rid of Russia’s leadership
Nato ( James Baker ) promised in 1990 they would not expand to the east. The did. Russia is surrounded by American and Nato soldiers and military bases. Nato and America were behind the coup in 2014 in Ukraine. So now they also want Ukraine, the backyard of Russia. Like Noam Chomsky said ; ' No Russian president would allow Ukraine to join a hostile military alliance'. Nato and America are agressors. America bombed Vietnam, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Chili, Salvador, Nicaragua , Guatemala, Panama, Brasil, Indonesia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia etc. Obama bombed 23 countries with drones. America used chemical weapons in Vietnam ( Agent Orange and Napalm ), and in Iraq ( depleted uranium in Fallujah, google Fallujah babies ). America did 40 regime changes in the world. Operation Condor, Operation Mongoose ,Operation Northwoods etc. America was behind the coup in Ukraine in 2014. America financed , armed and trained neo-nazi's of the Azov Battalion and C14 Ukraine. Just like they trained and financed the Taliban in Afghanistan to fight the Russians. America armed and trained ISIS according to the American General Michael Flynn. Since 2014 the Azov Battalion and C14 Ukraine are killing Russians in Ukraine. Zelensky is in the Pandora Papers, jailed many critics, banned Russian language and culture and closed 3 tv stations. They don't care about the people in Ukraine. It is all about the expansion of Nato and making billions with the military industrial complex ,and 'weakening' the 'enemy' Russia. The first casualty of war is truth

so simple to sit at home identifying seemingly simple solutions. brilliant? many minds that have actual information and abilities are working to keep the impact as low as possible for folks like you. the easiest way to stop Putin would make your life very uncomfortable. you would complain. there are many just like you.

This man is very smart. I think he is "intimatly informed" as to Putins thinking, but also the regime as a whole.🤔 I think this man gave great insight & knowledge on a "completely tangible way" to not only defund putins war machine. But the Russian Regime behind putin, as well. Also, I feel he has thought of a great way to bring the negativity surrounding the putin regime down, in that way. He's also raised the positivity factor, by identifying a way of REBUILDING, renormalizing and BETTERING the lives of the Ukrainian people! And so, I think this is a great way to go about the situation.

Russia has now lost so many Generals they've started replacing them with conscripts! After seeing how poorly trained and gutless their troops are, not to mention the 500 tanks they'e lost, no one is afraid of these 🤡. Think scared little Putin will visit Donbas? Not unless he's got his diaper on. Putin is a 🤡
This guy is brilliant not a showman but on the money literally
This guy is a idiot. Russia makes a billion a day off Germany and a few others. Take this money for war reparations and escrow the rest until the war is over. How is it a "smart embargo" on Russia when they can just turn off the tap ? If the billion a day stops, the flow of gas stops.
This is how the CIA operates: ua-cam.com/video/f6NmaLS6B8E/v-deo.html
The sanctions are a lot stronger but stopping purchasing his oil would be more effective. This man is smart! Great ideas. They must help the destroyed families.
Then save fuel by turning down oil consumption and driving slower to save fuel!
I don’t understand how stopping Russian oil purchase would solve anything. If you don’t pay, then wouldn’t they just cut you off? Then you’re left without oil.
Speaking as someone who has never received money from Putin, I suggest total sanctions immediately.
Me neither ! I check the post every day and I’m still waiting my Putin bribe
Do out of spite I wish the sanctions to continue u til Putin gives me my cut
Explain that to roughly 100-150 million Europeans who depend in one way or another on oil and gas from Russia until other supplies have been established. Not gonna happen, because you cant. Not to mention that the fallout of this would have a profound economic impact on these countries, which would ripple into world economics as well.
Lets not forget how the US turns a blind eye to a lot what happens in OPEC states because of the economic ramifications. Its a very similar situation for Europe. But at least they scramble to disconnect themselves from the dependency on Russian fossil fuels, but it takes time...
@@Ganiscol I've been telling this for around a decade now and no-one listened - we must have an alternative source of energy (e.g. nuclear, LNG), as something like this was inevitable at some point. They're more expensive, yes, but under our control.
I’ve never received money or goods from Putin either. I’m not going to go into the economic impact because that’s been well covered by Ganiscol. But even if the economic impact would only be minor, they still couldn’t cut off Russian gas immediately or thousands will freeze to death next winter, or die from food poisoning from being unable to cook their food. You can’t just say oh well bad luck to that. They must have a suitable replacement ready first.
Think about the chaos when the Texas electric grid went down last year. That lasted 17 days and killed up to 700 people. Now imagine that lasting 3 months, or longer if it’s a very cold winter, in densely populated cities. Lots of them. Tens of thousands would die.
This smart embargo idea could work. I hope someone who works on these things sees this.
The only thing i agree with him is that we have to start thinking of reparations and relief aid, all the survivors have to go back to leveled apartments and even the ones that are standing need to be demolished for safety precautions, they can't just renovate the shelled apartments after the war is over, that and there are a lot of injured. Not to mention infrastructure.
Ukraine doesn't deserve to have to sift through rubble to get a meal after this war, just like some survivors in the occupied territories, they deserve to be seen and heard even after the war ends, whenever that is.
A great proposal. Let's see some action on this by the European nations now.
No thanks , like my lights on.

Wake up, get real. I'm tired of virtue signalling people, while msms doesn't even mention simple fact about USA ramped up Russian import 43% as conflict started while pushing everyone to stop importing. yeaah, just wave the flag. I don't think you're hypocryte, you're just good, uninformed person. I wish less people were ignorant and opened their eyes. You do NOT get what's going on from msm. You get an agenda.
The smart embargo is an interesting idea. On the face of it, you would imagine that it simply wouldn’t work. You tell the Russians that you’ll continue paying for their oil & gas, but the money is going into an escrow account that doesn’t release any funds until Russian troops withdraw from Ukraine. Surely the Russians would just say “no, that violates our agreement” and turn off the supply? Well, probably - but maybe not. Who else are they going to sell to? Would it put yet more pressure on Putin to end this nonsense? “Dude, we have a billion dollars a day accumulating but we can’t touch it until this war is over….” I don’t know. Who knows how Putin thinks? And Europe would have to be ready to transition completely away from Russian energy, because there is every chance they’ll just turn it off.
Turning off the supply is not necessarily very simple for Russia, and could be very expensive in terms of replacing capital equipment when they come to turn it back on. Also they are very dependent on western companies for oil services, so if they turn the supply off they may be un-able to turn it back on without Western help. They might be persuaded to continue supply while some of the revenue entered an escrow account (at least potentially the operating profit proportion). Would be worth a try.
@@robertlock622 But this makes no sense... how would this money be set aside for Ukraine later? Russia will agree to have their $$ put into escrow which then they are going to donate to the country they just waged a war on? Yeah i think they would just turn off the gas to Europe if they didn't get paid for selling their oil... and Europe has shown that they can't go without Russian gas.
He is a smart guy who knows Putin and the Russian mindset. I hope our powers will listen to him. Thank you for your great insight and proposal.
This tactical approach is a very good solution to the puzzle. Nobody needs the regime. The Russian public has been manipulated. It is next to impossible to reverse the spiral.
What do you mean by "nobody needs the regime"? Me and 76% of all Russians voted for Putin. He is my president.

"Smart Embargo"? The idea of holding Russian Oil Proceeds is ludicrous. How can that be enforced? Would Russia keep providing oil/gas without payment? The European countries made a disastrous mistake becoming energy dependent on Russia. Now moving quickly away from that is a huge challenge. Stupidity is probably not the explanation for such decision. Let's investigate and prosecute who profited from that.

@@KatT-qr6fi and in 2023 144 million in russia...
Yes, absolutely. One can imagine how rich and powerful a EU with Russia included would be.
EU as it is already is capable of being a superpower, if the pieces are put together correctly.
However - a EU with Russia, Ukraine etc as member states would not just be one of the superpowers, it would be the absolute number one superpower on the planet.
If this war wouldn't have happened - Ukraine joining before Russia could have been one of the steps for Russia to join.
Probably if Ukraine joins we'd already make russian one of the EU languages - so after that whats more logical than for Russia to join next after their "little brother" nation already went ahead and joined - and their language is already a working language of EU?
Unfortunately, with this Invasion all of that went to hell. Ukrainians are suffering horribly, Russians also got it fairly bad (and for them it will just get worse from here), even EU is having some losses from it.
And after this, Russia will basically become a client state of China.
So in the end, the Chinese are the only ones gaining something from this.

Yeah, he's just repeating what he already suggested. I'm not sure Putin would accept it. I mean, what would stop him from shutting down the gas anyway?
I would`nt pump any gas or oil if I was`nt getting paid and shutting off the flow would certainly be punishment for such a move.
What would potentially stop him is the future gas revenue. If he shuts off the gas, that's likely gonna be permanent. Europe will struggle but they'll find other sources, build LNG terminals and push hard on renewables and nuclear energy. Meaning at the other end of this, doesn't matter how much he wants to reopen the gas valve to rest of Europe again, he will find the pipelines plugged, sealed, welded shut and buried for good at the other end.
@@gunfisher4661 if he did that he wouldn't be paid for it anyway. Can't find his war either way . Yeah the west would be inconvenienced for awhile but Putin would have to cry uncle in the end . I'd be inconvenienced to stop Putin's rape of Ukraine.
@@AB-wf8ek #DeleteBigOil
And what if he does? Ukrainians are being killed but we won't put on a sweater? Come on, we are better than that. Cut off the gas, it's almost summer anyway. It won't be easy, but we'll figure something out before next winter.
Wouldn't Russia just stop providing energy to Europe if this was implemented? Why would Russia supply EU with energy if they aren't being paid anyways? They may as well do a full embargo in any case.
They are seriously confused and desperate!
You are completely right. This whole idea is stupid. It's just not paying anymore for the gas, hoping that Russia would continue to deliver which is beyond dumb.
@@MetalheadAndNerd whatever else this man is, he’s not dumb. He probably just didn’t explain it well in English
@@fanfeck2844 I understood him very well. He wants the gas receiving countries to simply send the money they are currently sending to Russia as gas payment to an escrow account, use as much of it as needed to rebuild Ukraine and give the rest of it to Russia as soon as Putin is gone.
But he completely misses the fact that Russia will not continue to supply gas if the payment stops.
@@fanfeck2844 I try to rephrase his idea for Americans: He says: "Instead of not buying gas from Russia we should simply stop paying for the gas. So we get gas and Russia doesn't get money. I'm so smart!"
The major assumption that Putin would allow energy exports to continue when he doesn’t receive income is a non starter.
We need many more Russians with the same message like this man. He knows what he is talking about. He's an insider.
Insider ???? ...unlikely ...he's an EX Putin advisor !
Thank you indeed for your insight. That was a very truthful revelation.
Hopefully these people will be removed and disposed of very soon

WHATEVER YOU DO ---- Don't let the "solution" come from the same source as the "problem".
Whenever I hear a russian saying true and intelligent things ................... I AM VERY VERY SURPRISED. Smart man.
Eh, why would Putin agree to a smart embargo and continue delivering gas? Makes no sense. Europe needs to be totally free from Russian gas obviously (Italy, Austria, France, Germany = I am looking at you). Put pressure on Saudi to produce more oil and lower prices. Develop alternative energy sources.
Because he desperately needs the money to run his fascist autocratic regime and international butchery operations
I agree, the problem is how long this will take. Putin has signed a death sentence for Russian energy to Europe, but until EU can adapt, he keeps getting his money. I am honestly surprised the pipeline to EU in Ukraine hasn't ''accidentally'' been damaged in/around the east to cut off the supply and therefore the money. The only way it could be repaired is if the war ended. That would force some currently tied hands to act more aggressively (talking to you Germany). Maybe UA should start storing all its weapons on the pipeline.
Because it gives time for Europe to adjust to not having the gas ,while Putin and Russia suffers economically at the same time.
It goes both ways,but at the end Putin would suffer the most
@@uelude and @ whatdoesntkillyou Mats is asking why putin would agree and keep delivering gas. He won’t have money coming in to fund his war so why would he agree to it?
@@fewerfunerals8176 do you know what an embargo is?
He did not answer the main question....can this government be defeated from the inside?
Not only are they all cut from the same cloth, they all know just how complicit they all are, so they’ll resist change like their lives depend on it…because they do. Sadly for the Russian people, the country has been like this for centuries, run by Tzars, thugs, criminals and psychopaths. They’ve been fed the same propaganda for 60 or more years so what chance do they have. Any dissent or opposition is met with imprisonment, poison or just bullets. As a country, they had a slight chance just after the dissolution of the USSR, but they failed to purge the old guard….and they are now firmly back in control.
This is unworkable. Russia would just stop providing Europe oil and gas. They're not going to keep on sending it without access to payment.
If money for Russian energy goes into an escrow account, which is a great idea, what would prevent Russia from simply discontinuing its energy exports?
Im upset about the fact that I had to scroll this far to finally find someone ask this fairly simple question.
It’s expensive to shut off wells, and expensive to turn them on again. In some cases, oil gets sold at negative prices just because there’s no place to store it!
@@christophermeraz-mata6834 Not for gas so much - can be turned on and off easily. Oil yes in some cases. However, oil can be shipped anywhere around the globe rather easily. Eventually, someone will buy the Russian oil and it will be blended and "laundered" so that you will not know what oil is being purchased without much research and effort.
That is the question.
@@ShockAndAwePod that is the question.
gas flow and oil flow need to stop asap, tighten the belt for a few months, and taking the evil out is much better than living under treat for a long time to come, once u get the rabid dog in a corral, it's time to put it to an end.
Question: why do you want people to suffer because their government made bad choices? You think Germany can cut Russian gas supplies quickly without it affecting the German population? So why do you want Germans to suffer as well?
If only it was that easy. Shutting off gas would crash Europes economy and lead to mass unemployment.
@@Sokar12345 did I said forever? I posted a few months,

Great advice. I pray that those in charge will take this advice
no, they will not. First, US importing like crazy from the Russia while telling others to stop. Not a good example.
Germany should reduce the usage of russian gas by 2.5 % every day. The difference should be aquirred from other sources. After a short time, Russia is running out of hard currency. A slow and painful suffocation of russian economy. A blockade of russian shipments should go along with this.
News should speak more about US ordering Europe to stop import from Russia WHILE pumping up Russian gas(or oil) import by 43% as conflict started. They will not speak about that, will they?
2.5% a day is too fast and too prone to cause a violent Putin´s reaction. 2.5% a Month seems more sensible. And remember that China and India are gonna keep buying oil from Russia, with a discount, but will keep buying.
It is already reduced and there are no other sources, not in the near future.
@@-cirad- but but but...daddy US said that he WILL supply all the gas/oil Europe needs...I guess "we, the good guys" have to go bully and bomb someone again. Nothing like the just war, right? Bad bad Putin!!! Ucraania.. eeee
@@powerdriller4124 OK, how about 1% percent a day? Putin is already violent! I don't think he attacks Germany/NATO over night. Let China and India buy the oil. They will pay in Renminbi or Rubees. That kind of money can't buy nothing Putin needs. ;-)
Good insight hope Congress & Senate will consider
Thank you, Mr Ilarionov.
This is a great idea. All payments for energy in an escrow account. To be paid over after the war is over. Minus costs of damage to Ukraine, costs to rebuild, costs of de-mining, as well as reparations. If any funds are left over.
Oh yes, Putin will love that idea and for sure continue delivering gas despite not getting paid for it.
Yeah right like Putin is going to fall for this trap.
They could always guarantee that any funds left over from restitution for war crimes and infrastructure obliteration would automatically go into Putin's prison commissary account.
@@anettebartha4537 if you think about it he wouldnt have any choice.
The West - "Putin, we want your energy payments in an escrow account until after the war".
Putin - "No".
The West - "Ok we dont want your energy anymore".
Putin - "Oh shit"
SMART EMARGO IS A GREAT IDEA LET'S HAVE IT PUT IN PLACE!!!
Thanks a lot for your information. You are very very brave.
Fantastic Guest ... Aundre had some AWESOME ideas
wise words from a Russian political strategist. Should be heard by the western countries.
Nah. Let Russia bleed to death over this. Swoop in and take its land and people once it's entirely crippled, then rebuild Ukraine. No more Russia. It's had enough time to turn itself into something positive. It's failed. Time for it to die.
THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY!!! 💪💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I see what this guy is saying but what if Russia just stops the energy if he can't get his current account receivables?
Russia will get 50% and they need it
Not IF. Sure to happen. Nothing smart about this idea at all. Just daydreaming of a guy who is out of touch with basic reality, let alone the ways Putin operates.
Totally Agree.... We need to get this Done ASAP
I hope someone that can make a difference in this situation took notes on what this man said.

Not the peace price - just 😉the litterature price
WTF, Jim? Where was the obvious follow-up question about Andrei's proposed escrow account idea: Wouldn't that just result in Putin immediately turning off the energy tap? How does he see the unfolding of such a plan such that Putin retains enough incentive to keep the energy coming? C'mon.
I agree...see my comment above.
Lazy reporting and lack of actually understanding what this guy was saying was evident.
Ol' Correct 💯.
Just listening to Barbara Star discussing the weapons shipped to Ukraine and the direction in which the supplies will travel just blows your mind, Russia just have to listen to the news network and get all the information they need, amazing
It's for western dumb public consumption. Western happily dumb good people just cannot see that West does everything it can to prolong the conflict as much as possible. No, you do not love Ukraine, only yourselves and your hyped emotions, believing any crap served. In effect: total disregard for Ukrainians - same goes for West and their puppet Ukrainian government - this war is their wet dream, you can bet on it. (I mean it generally, for the CNN audience, just repulsive to watch...
This is a very great idea. The Western powers and leaders should immediately consider ways to implement this idea
ahahahah, u think Putin is an idiot? who will send gas and oil if they are not paying? Clowns
Hmm.., have you read history??, US is first and only country who used the nuclear bomb on Japan twice, and wedge war on Vietnam for 20 yrs, they didn't stop thereafter they distroyed many countries blaming false allegations or in the name of peace, and now after afganistan they are doing it with Ukraine and Russia, specially to distabilize Russia using Ukraine., The America is the only cause of all the problem in earth. He has to interfere everywhere in the world.
Thank you to him for his thoughtful insight. I'd be interested to know a little how he got to here from being Putin's economic advisor - But he has given some good advice. We would be wise to listen.
Why do you not allow subtitles it’s preclusive to hearing impaired people
This Andrei Illarionov is the most serious guy I have ever seen. This sounds like the most plausible solution.
Even Putin cracked a smile when he kissed the boys tummy.
Extremely insightful and on the ball. Europe has been very lazy regarding an alternative energy solution. Time and again it has been pointed out that being heavily dependent on russian energy supplies leaves Europe vulnerable - and here we are
100% right on
I fail to see the logic in Germany going ahead with closing down its remaining working nuclear power stations. Why do they not postpone the closure, but no they insist on going ahead as planned.
Good interview, well conducted, and not interrupted by CNN.
Only question every viewer has is " Will Putin agree to a reduced return on his gas shipments, and what would that look like?"
Exactly ! The likelihood of Putin accepting the terms of such an agreement whereby it would be essentially a statement of guilt by Putin that he was at fault for his 'military exercise' and therefore a 'military exercise criminal' is fatuous

Hungary, Germany and Italy is against sanctions on Gas. Do these countries have a similar past of making grave mistakes in Europe ??
Italy is in favour of an oil embargo
Germany is doing all it can to get rid of russian energy as fast as possible, propably in a few months.
And lets be real here, ALL the countries that like to talk shit, about germany not abandoning russian energy immedietly, would do the exact same thing if they were in the same boat.
That boat being destroying their economy for decades, maybe irrevocably.
So I´d like to suggest that everyone comes off their high horse and just excepts that we had a Russian spy as chancellor for 7 years and then absolutely useless christian republicans for 16....GIVE US TIME TO DIG US OUT OF THIS WHOLE FOR BUCKS SAKE.
great interview with a smart russian who knows putins mind set
Excellent interview!
Except that as soon as you stop paying the energy stops flowing.
Ok and why would Russia agree to that solution? They would just insist on direct payment. This is not something we can just do...

Its a dumb idea, if Russia cant be paid they will simply cut off the gas
I would simply like to thank this man. May you be safe.
Due to existing sanctions, can Putin actually buy anything with the gas money?
good question
Hungary will not support sanctions against Russian oil, gas, Hungary opposed an embargo on energy supplies from Russia. Russian sanctions will only be real if oil and gas imports are hit. Once again Putin called their bluff.
That's mighty wishful thinking, little troll, but if you say so.
Yep - Hungary, Germany and Italy is against sanctions on Gas. Do these countries have a similar past of making grave mistakes in Europe ??
Lithuania already stopped gas imports, Finland Estonia will follow in a few months and rest of EU sooner or later also. Putin didn't call any bluffs as nobody was bluffing. Nobody cares what Hungary and Austria do, they aren't big enough to finance Putin after the rest of EU have quit buying.
