Don't worry, EU leaders were incredibly hurt by this and are doing everything to make life in EU worse. Double digit inflation, quadrupling energy bills are mere first steps.

Oh did the EU leaders raise the gas price?
EU leaders started the economic war that resulted in gas prices going up.
No.
Literally yes.
Factually no.
Their actions did. Supply and demand and what happen if you suddenly refuse to buy from your major supplier without alternative ready to fill the difference? That's pretty obvious to anyone so if they did it, that's their responsibility.
Europe did not refuse to buy gas from Russia. Russia just stopped selling gas to Europe.
They did for months. Russia was blocked from the SWIFT system which was used for the international transactions, mostly in euro and dollars. So Russia could literally not sell anything because it would not get paid. So they wanted to get paid in rubles and even set up exchange accounts in Russia in order to do so. Several EU countries did it, like Hungary, Bulgaria and Italy. Only after months of naked hostility and economic warfare Russia refused to trade, small wonder considering EU is openly declaring itself enemy to Russia.
The SWIFT ban was specifically designed to not block any gas, oil or coal related trades between Russia and Europe, so that these can continue as the EU was very much aware that this kind of sanctions results into no benefit for them.
Who lives in Canada of all places; replace the eu flag with the canadian one and you got a perfect fit...
You left the society you could improve and seek to destroy the one you're currently in. There's no "improvement" on your part
I would love to live in Russia.
What is stopping you?
Family.
Where in Russia would you want to live? Apparently Moscow is very rich.
~~Apparently Moscow is very rich.~~ There are some very rich people in Moscow.
Ive never been there so no idea what its like. But personally I prefer smaller cities, where you can live closer to nature.
