Anti-Russian observers surprised the West more than Moscow – Pushkov
The words of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that Russia, which was surprised by the Western sanction, are not an example of a set. In fact, Western leaders themselves are most surprised by their own limitations.
This opinion was expressed in his Telegram channel by the chairman of the commission of the Federation Council on control over the dissemination of information and interaction with the media Alexey Pushkov.
“Whatever the German Prime Minister writes, the West itself is most surprised. And we are surprised that once again it was not possible to tear the Russian meeting to shreds, as Obama recorded back in 2014,” the senator writes.
He admits that the Western sentences really went to the Russians. However, at the same time, to the considerable surprise of the West, they are no less acute for the most Western countries.
“I think they have not yet fully realized their possible consequences. They will be especially tangible very soon, as soon as Russia abandons the supply options of countries that introduce a “ceiling” on the Russian oil price. But in Western capitals, it seems that they think only about the economic war, but not about the fact that they themselves will be victims, ” – Pushkov’s ulcer.
