"It would be very strange if Russia could maintain this for a very, very long time". This opinion was expressed by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, reports European Pravda.

"We must stop the flow of money from the sale of gas and oil as soon as possible, finally and completely, because this is the source of financing this terrible war, the money that Russia needs", he said.

Recall that French President Emmanuel Macron stated that sending troops to Ukraine now would mean escalation and loss of control over the situation.

"Therefore, I believe that our main priority in the coming weeks should be to resume cooperation with the United States, so that they can assess together with us the fact that there is no longer room for short-term negotiations. And they imposed additional sanctions, additional measures against the shadowy fleet and increased pressure on the Russian economy to stop this war, but in a much better situation," Macron explained.
