“The specter of communism has finally entered Europe again... Fat Europeans, provided with gas from various sources, are going to be forced to share with the poor, but proud, who do not want to pay Russia in rubles for our fuel,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
According to him, in Europe "at the same time they will introduce rationing of energy consumption, and there it is not far from food cards."
As the El País newspaper wrote earlier, the EC plans to approve a plan on May 18 in the event of a possible abrupt cessation of Russian gas supplies.
It is specified that the European Commission will require EU countries to share gas in the event of a reduction in supplies from Russia.
In addition, the European authorities will also require energy rationing, which will start with the industrial sector.
