Russia's policy will radically change if Western Europe stops buying Russian gas.

This was stated by journalist Aider Muzhdabaev, reports "Apostrophe".

In his opinion, the West has not yet introduced these sanctions against Russia.

"The West has no political will to go to the end in the confrontation with Putin. At this stage, Putin is in a state of absolute operational distrust - everyone understands that he can not seriously agree with something, but at the same time to exert serious pressure to overthrow his power, the West has not yet decided. As soon as this decision is made, the events in the Crimea and the Donbass will develop quite differently, "writes Muzhdabaev.

Taxpayers in Western Europe involuntarily fund the Russian regime, he said.. As soon as this does not happen - the world will deal with a completely different Russia, much less aggressive, Muzhdabaev is convinced.

"The egg of the Russian Koshchei is in Western Europe, which is a sponsor of the Russian regime. Russian raw materials, which is acquired by Western Europe, feeds Putin with his punitive system and army.

Of course, all the missiles that strike Syria, and those shells and bullets that fly towards Ukraine, the equipment of "green men" - it's all bought with the money of Western European taxpayers, with which it pays for gas, "he explained..

He also emphasizes that the Russian economy has adapted to existing sanctions and found ways to bypass them. Ukrainian business is massively active in the occupied Crimea, he recalled..

As the "Observer" wrote, the European Union extended "Crimean" sanctions against Russia without discussion.
