"Goebbels out".

Nice, you finally recognize it for what it is

Yes, western armament "does not work", "it is not useful", Ukraine "cannot damage Ruzzia" and this is "Goebbels out". Next episode, "Stalin was a nice person".

It works for you, it just doesn't work for Ukraine...beware of Englishmen even when he gives you gift, as old Balkan proverb says

Perhaps you should let Ukraine decide what works for Ukraine and quit the pan-Slavic nationalism that never worked for anyone.

Back to where it hurts: From "Europe will freeze" to "we will just sell gas to China" and finally "Uppps we are broke".

Gazprom loss shows struggle to fill EU gas sales gap with China

Quote

Kremlin-owned energy kingpin Gazprom (GAZP.MM), opens new tab, once Russia's most profitable company, could face a long period of poor performance as it struggles to fill the gap of lost European gas sales with its domestic market and Chinese exports.
The company recently announced an annual net loss of $7 billion, its first since 1999, following a steep decline in trade with Europe.
Gazprom's troubles reflect the deep impact the European sanctions have had on Russia's gas industry, as well as the limitations of Moscow's growing partnership with China.

Russia’s Budget Is Getting Twice as Much Oil Money as a Year Ago
