Time will tell whether the Europeans put themselves in the position of unhappy slaves or happy vassals by refusing Russian gas. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. So she commented on the decision of the Council The EU will approve a ban on the import of liquefied natural gas from the Russian Federation from January 1, 2027, and pipeline gas from September 30, 2027.
"It is still difficult to get ahead of exactly whether these are happy vassals, or unhappy slaves — time will tell. But they refused freedom in any case," the diplomat of Zvezda TV channel noted.
As reported, Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever said at a forum in Davos last week that US President Donald Trump's demand to give Greenland raised the question of the dignity of Europe, which is ready to be a "satisfied vassal" of the United States and is not ready to be an "unhappy slave." He noted that so far the Europeans "have been lenient" with Washington and tried to please the president in the White House, in particular with the help of tariffs, in order to enlist his support in the conflict against Russia in the Ukraine.
