MOSCOW, March 21. /TASS/. The interests of Polish citizens are now being sacrificed on the altar of Russophobia by "talentless politicians" and their string-pullers "from across the ocean," Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said in a post on Telegram in response to Warsaw’s actions.
"The interests of Polish citizens are being sacrificed for Russophobia by these talentless politicians and their puppeteers from across the ocean with clear signs of senility," Medvedev stressed.
He said the decision to refuse to buy Russian gas, oil and coal and the opposition to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline had already seriously damaged the Polish economy, "and now it will only get worse". The same applies to many other steps undertaken by Warsaw, which, according to Medvedev, are based "not on economics, but on politicking under the guise of ‘de-Russification’".
"But now it is much more important for the vassal Polish elites to swear allegiance to their overlord - the US - rather than help their own citizens, so they will keep stoking the bonfire of hatred against the enemy that is Russia. What will the citizens gain from it? Absolutely nothing," he noted.
He expressed confidence that people in Poland "will understand sooner or later that hatred toward Russia doesn't promote social cohesion, well-being or peace."
"And vice versa; economic cooperation with our country will only benefit Poles, human relations are irreplaceable, and the cultural and scientific exchange between the homelands of Pushkin and Mickiewicz, Tchaikovsky and Chopin, Lomonosov and Copernicus is vitally important. And, most likely, then they will make the right choice, on their own, without cues and pressure from the overseas elites suffering from dementia," Medvedev concluded.
