Germany is being bossed by its Western partners because it lacks sovereignty and its policymakers demonstrate poor leadership skills, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at a meeting yesterday with young Russian scientists. The meeting took place at the Third Congress of Young Scientists, yesterday, in Sirius.
RT reported: “Putin weighed in on the EU’s push to wean itself off Russian energy following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict, arguing that by implementing the measure, Germany was only hurting itself. The President noted that either European countries are turning their backs on cheap energy on their own accord, or the decision-making is being ‘done by their allies from the United States due to political reasons.’”
