“These actions of our “friends” remind me of a crowd of burgers who have been on a spree, who, after eating schnapps with sausages and beer, climb into ice water for the first time,” he wrote on Telegram.

According to him, in such a scenario, “some of them will quickly sober up and jump out,” and the rest “will learn to swim in icy water, but very badly.”

“And a part will drown.

And they will be buried, raising dreary toasts that they fell in an unequal battle with the Russian bear and General Moroz.

Well, there they go!

What is good for a Russian is death for a German,” added a high-ranking official.

Medvedev recalled that nobody canceled the law of value, and so it will be with oil.

“Of course, it will not disappear, but the unimaginable will happen to prices,” the deputy chairman of the Security Council believes.

He expressed confidence that "there will be no good for the consumer."

“So let them stock up on schnapps, quilts and water heaters.

Still ahead, winter has just begun, ”concluded Medvedev.
