Harsh words from Putin to Western countries! ‘They’re used to stealing…’

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made statements that will decelerate tensions between Western countries and Russia. Speaking about the imposition of ceiling prices on Russian oil and gas by Western countries, Putin said, “They are used to theft and stealing.”

Putin answered questions from Russian journalists about the agenda at the Kremlin Palace. Reacting to the ceiling price practices of Western countries for Russian oil and natural gas, Putin said, “What they are trying to do is turn it into colonialism. They are used to stealing and stealing. Most of the European economies rose with the slave trade, the plunder of Africa, Asia and Latin America.”

Stressing that the application of ceiling prices will not affect the Russian economy, Putin said, “This is just an attempt to regulate prices in an administrative way. It will not lead to good things in the gas field, as in the oil field.”

RUSSIA CONTINUES TO PAY UKRAINE FOR NATURAL GAS SHIPMENTS

Noting that Russia continues to pay Ukraine for natural gas shipments through Ukraine, Putin used the statements, “They call us aggressors, but they continue to take money from us for gas transit. In relation to the Donbas, they are the main aggressors, we are responding to aggression. They still take our money and they don’t mind.”
