MOSCOW, June 17. /TASS/. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has pointed to US President Joe Biden's short-sighted policies that lead to losses for American businesses in Russia.
In a message on his Telegram channel on Friday, Medvedev recalled Biden's words that he was deciding on sanctions against Russia not as president, but as commander-in-chief. "Generally speaking, it is bad when two personalities dictate different wills to a person. This usually has the well-known medical name in psychiatry," the lawmaker noted.
"As a result of the decisions of such a commander-in-chief, but not the president of the United States, a large number of American and international companies simply lose enormous multi-billion-dollar capacities in our country," he stressed. "And what's in return? Nothing. As there was healthy and not so healthy lemonade in Russia, so will it remain. Both dark and light. Only under a different brand. As there were burgers, so will they remain. Under a different name," Medvedev pointed out.
"I'm not even talking about food inflation or the price of a gallon of gasoline, which, as US oil companies have told the world, is connected not with some mythical threat from Putin, but with the unreasonable policy of Biden and his administration in the field of oil production and refining," the Security Council Deputy Chairman said.
"But America has once again shown its determination to fight for democracy! The question is at what price," the politician summed up.
