Russian Duma senator Alexei Pushkov stated on Saturday regarding the reported heat wave endangering Europe that the EU leaders have long lost a "sense of real threats" and are now solely occupying themselves with the situation in Ukraine.
"The Euro leaders, who are carried away by Ukraine, have forgotten that a much more powerful and serious crisis is coming, in comparison to which the fate of remote territories in the south-east of Europe will cease to have any meaning for 99% of Europeans. Like most of what Europe now worries about. But Western capitals have long lost their sense of real threats," he said in a Telegram post.
Previously, the Russian ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov noted in a Newsweek article that the US' hasty weapon "pumping" of Kiev will lead to a direct military confrontation between Washington and Moscow.
