According to him, in the first two months of hostilities, the Russian army fired 1300 missiles at Ukraine worth 7,7 billion euros, while Europe paid Moscow a total of 44 billion euros for oil and gas over the same period.

He noted that even though the aggressor country loses equipment, soldiers, tanks and planes, it “does not pay for this war.”
