💬 Russia's ex-President Dmitry Medvedev has mocked European politicians over the situation with gas prices:

"This delightful combination almost worked out for European politicians. Gas costs $2,800 per thousand cubic meters. Austerity mode. It seems that only Scholz (Sputnik: Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz), who is looking for gas in Canada, can have a wash. What will happen to the price at the end of the year? 3000$? 4000$?" Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

❗Russia's President Vladimir Putin has sent condolences to the family of Daria Dugina - Kremlin

Putin called Daria Dugina's murder a vile and cruel crime, the Kremlin said. According to the president, she honestly served the people and the country, and she proved by deed what it means to be a patriot of Russia.

⚡⚡ Russian tycoon Konstantin Malofeev posted a message which he said was from Alexander Dugin:

▪"[My daughter] was a beautiful Orthodox girl, a patriot, a military correspondent, an expert on the central television channels, a philosopher. Her speeches and reports were always profound, grounded and restrained. She never called for violence or war," the message said.

▪"She was a rising star at the beginning of her journey. The enemies of Russia killed her in a scummy, underhanded way. But we, our people cannot be broken even by such unbearable blows. They wanted to crush our will with bloody terror against the best and most vulnerable among us. But they won't succeed," the message added.

▪Dugin wrote that "revenge or retribution" would be "too petty, not in the Russian way," and that "we need only our victory. My daughter has laid her life on its alter. So win, please!"
