Protest in the Czech Republic earlier this month; many wanting steps to curb energy costs and an end to sanctions against Russia over the conflict in Ukraine. Russia now says it won’t re-open the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline it closed for supposed maintenance until that happens. Prices will go up even further. Will resentment grow – and if so, what would that mean?

Self inflicted wound…just dont make sense…whilst Russia is laughing to the bank…muito boom, kaboom boom boom…muito boom…..
Europe must wake up stop listening to sleepy joe and the west guys.🙉
The problem is American and NATO putting sanctions on Russia. Period. But the moderator and the guest are afraid to say so. THE SANCTION IS THE PROBLEM. LIFT THE SANCTION AND THE PROBLEM WILL DISAPPEAR. But they seem to put the problem on Russia!!!
convenient to ignore the aggressions and policies aggressive towards the Russians and Chinese, and the exploitation of the west( 15%) of the world population.
People are awake and they do realize that west is not that clean.
After all NATO has committed war crimes all over. 500,000 kids dying in Iraque alone was justified by Albright!
NATO is running EU as EU leadership is corrupt and is anti Europe. They have made the dollar overtake the €. Europe will wake up! Europe should have a foreign policy independent of the USA neo con interests. I am a European citizen and Finland had the most progress with Soviet union. Since joinig EU with this anti European and anti Russian actions with the traitors at the helm of power in many countries in EU,
I have seen the decline of living standards and private enterprise taking over key services.
,
blame russia? you must be smoking pumpers
Our masters want unrest so they can introduce marshal law .
That's right, the natives are revolting and there's nothing worse than revolting natives!!
The guy talking from Washington is a complete ignorant or better still a western propagandist. All these people claim they're experts
Putin, this gang of thirty EVILS destroy mid east so now let them FREEZE.
👯♀️👯♀️Dance baby dance, coming A*S FREEZING COOL.
InshaAllah!! Let these globalist EU scumbags eat cake!!!!!
Seriously why do these speakers underestimate the people of Europe so much implying they are so stupid that they don't know who to blame for the energy prices and inflation.
Leo A comment is spot on! Proxy wars never are any good if the opponent is a significant world energy supplier.
Europeans do know where Ukraine is on a map.
The Russian bots are active in the comments section here. Russia and China both are doomed because of demographics. Both lack a replacement generation to be workers/soldiers of the state. That will take decades to repair. Economics and political situations are based upon demographics.
The operatives order for the world is taking it place be quiet or join the order
The longer Europeans remain ignorant of the real causes of this conflict, the longer they will suffer.
Don’t worry Europe! This will actually bring you to prosper when Putin is gone. Hang tight & keep the faith. This shall pas & the best will return to your countries wealth. Don’t look at this in fear. Keep looking for the glory God will bring & show you for doing right by supporting the ones Gods supports. Ukraine is in Gods will. So just don’t panic!!
Stop letting fear paralysis you with taking away your hope. That’s a Putin dictator handbook tactic. Stand firm & know you will be rewarded by looking to God with faith & know great is coming to you soon enough.
Love sent from America 🇺🇸🇺🇸
You have failed to include massive unemployment. What do you think will happen when all this comes together? You still have not grasped the enormity of all this. There will not just be protests but riots or at worse revolutions. Slava Russia! You all wanted this and now you got it. 😆😅🤣😂🙃🙃🙃🙃😈
What focus are you talking about? Do you think people just pour out in the streets because they feel like it without any motive and not knowing against whom. ? Against their government of course. What they demand is action to address their need.
The world is just a playground for big egos. Big boys play and the little kids pay.
You doing something you don't know you doing referee judge
He's not groups man that's whole populations whole Nations this dude crazy
Straight the deceiving
Stupid! Th ekey is not communicatin, but getting low cost energy form Russiaby stopping sanction and reconciliate with Russia
Gas there in France, Norway, Netherland… Infrastructure for generation of sufficient electricity is required.. more amount of electricity is required..cooperation in between states should be maintained this crises period with mediation by European Union … One state 's gas is likely to be used by others…Not to get panic over crises.. get patience..one God helps.. let's hope.. there will be showers… We may add new breeds of fish into river, updated with existing coimate.. new types of seeds for agriculture… We got to drill across green fields,green slopes, forests for digging hundreds of feet of PVC pipes through ground upto water level at deep under ground position….water is needed for agriculture… Ukraine people are expert farmers growing wheat,vegetables,lentils,tomato etc.. ..SCO (sanghai commonwealth org) agrrement for security in between Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, India, China i,security for foodgrains may be explored as India bans export of foodgrains
Maybe those countries should get their sovereignty back instead of being led by unelected bureaucrats then they can do what the citizens of those former sovereign countries want.
EU leaders need to be carpet bombed.
The cause of the cost of living crisis in Europe is not Russia but the stupid policies of NATO and EU.
People are dispossessed and people would have a way to weather through…how? i'm confused.
Roots of all these misery of the ordinary European people is the NATO countries imperial ambition, if someone explain it otherwise, simply not telling the truth.
Solf media coming from the west always 🤫🤔
Zelenskiy will go down in history, as the comedian who brought Europe to it's knees. I can see Europe in future, immigrating to Africa, if the people do not rise up against their leaders.
Communication is the key? Of course it's not. Western governments and mainstream media have been lying to the people from day one of the Ukraine war. Commication cannot be the key if the intention is to lie.
The only key is the truth. The looming energy disaster is self-inflcted.
Economic catasthrohe of epic proportion if the energy shortage crisis prolonged. Europe will be hit first followed by America then later by the world
Get your facts correct Europe imposed the sanctions against Russia
Are they working or getting paid by the CIA
Just sad
The Europeans are not interested in their life and future which they have created by stupid voting. Now they can reap what they have sown.
Eu public will love this winter with limited heat.
Yes if only the social media would just parrot official government announcements there wouldn't be any social unrest anywhere.
Intermittent wind and solar are not a solution. Corrupt or willfully ignorant politicians allowed mass deception to believe it was so.
A primitive state cult for the willfully ignorant. Now the people pay. But the elites already have their trillions for what can never be made to function as claimed.
We have to get Biden, Pelosi and Scummer out of office.
Blame your government. It is all corruption.
Answer: No
African living standards on the verge of exceeding the west in quality
Speakers are bias liars without the heart to hit the nail on the head that nato US EU fueling of ukranian crisis and Russophobia including illegal sanctions causing supply chain disruptions.. these folks are delusional and with these kind of people EU is heading to the abyss
candles, candles, candles
EU, SANCTIONS WORKS VERY WELL IN RUSSIA, 🤔😂🤣
Thete is no doubt about that people will be on streets again this Autumn!The winter is coming and the only way to avoid is to lift the sanctions on Russia.If not a lot of the political leaders will fall too.
