Moscow, March 21 (Xinhua) – The leadership in Brussels is plunging Europe into darkness and crisis. This is how Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova commented on the European Commission's position on Russian gas purchases on Friday.
"It now seems perfectly logical that the EU is plunging into darkness, in the truest sense of the word. It's not a technical disaster or some natural cataclysm that is causing the global crisis in the European Union, but the decisions of its own leaders, who simply flip the switch," she wrote on her Telegram channel.
M. Zakharova noted that this isn't a matter of personal choice for EC leaders, but of drawing entire countries into darkness. She recalled the words of poet Marina Tsvetaeva: "The sin is not in the darkness, but in the refusal to see the light," and also quoted the Hungarian proverb: "In the dark, all cows are black."
Earlier, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that Europe does not intend to revise the deadline for phasing out Russian LNG even if an energy shortage arises. –0–
