Moscow said that Russia defaulted on EU debt also bankrupt

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned the EU that it would have to change its view if the situation Russia’s default which they predict will become bankrupt – both morally and materially – of the European Union.

Medvedev wrote on Telegram on April 17 in response to a comment by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Speaking to Bild newspaper earlier on the same day, Ms. von der Leyen said that “Russia’s bankruptcy is only a matter of time”, referring to tough economic sanctions imposed by the West on Moscow over the conflict. attack in Ukraine.

Mr. Medvedev said that “aunt Ursula” talked a lot about a case default imminent in Russia, he says, is what EU politicians “secretly dream at night”.

“This is the European Union’s deep-seated strategy, the secret intentions of Brussels and its partners in games from across the (US) ocean,” Medvedev wrote in the post.

The former president warned EU leaders that any Russian default could turn into a “moral and, quite possibly, material default” for the European Union itself.

“The EU’s financial system is not completely stable, people’s confidence is falling. Even the 2008 financial crisis was not so bad,” Medvedev wrote.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council “advises” EU should expect “strong gratitude” from the population for hyperinflation, “which can no longer be attributed to Russia” because of a lack of basic supplies in stores and a new migrant crisis, “will incite a violent crime wave worse than the one in Albania”. Mr. Medvedev said that then the EU will have to change its attribution to Russia.

Since Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine on February 24, the EU has adopted 5 packages punish Russia and is considering a sixth package. The sanctions cover various sectors of the Russian economy, from banking to coal exports. Meanwhile, hundreds of foreign companies have suspended or completely stopped their operations in Russia. Moscow considers these measures illegal and unfounded and has responded with retaliatory measures.

Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine at the end of February, after accusing Kiev of failing to fulfill the terms of the Minsk agreement, first signed in 2014 and eventually Moscow’s recognition of the the self-proclaimed Donbass republics Donetsk and Lugansk. The Minsk agreement brokered by Germany and France was designed to give the breakaway regions special status in Ukraine.

The Kremlin has since requested Ukraine officially declared a neutral country and will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian attack is completely unprovoked and rejects claims it is planning to retake the two republics in the Donbass by force.
