⚡️Erdogan said that Europe has only itself to blame for the serious problems it will face this winter because of a reduction in Russian gas supplies.

Most of the time I write about Russian foreign policy, so I get to cover many briefings of Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. With dozens of reporters queuing up to ask her questions, usually it's not easy to record a long interview with her, but she answered three @sputnikint questions today on the sidelines of EEF's discussion on infowars - one of them about Western media "shooting itself" by publishing fake news and losing readership as a result, another one about ways in which infowars against Russia have changed after Moscow launched special military operation in Ukraine, and thirdly Maria Zakharova also commented on the "fog clearing up" in the West as audiences wake up and see what's really happening with Western mainstream media's attacks on Russia. Full interview coming up at our website - sputniknews.com

Tens of thousands of people gathered in Wenceslas Square in the city's center on Saturday to protest against soaring inflation and energy prices. The demonstrators called for Petr Fiala's government to resign and to put the 'Czech Republic First'

❗️Lavrov: Moscow will seek full clarification on 'fascist Russia' remarks by EU's Borrell

Russia has asked for a full trannoscript of Josep Borrell's speech in Spanish, and will draw its own conclusions if there's no response from the office of the EU foreign policy chief.

Speaking at the European Parliament inter-parliamentary conference in Prague on Monday, the EU's top diplomat switched to his native Spanish to deliver a clearer response while answering an Estonian lawmaker's question about the bloc's actions against Russia.

The Estonian parliamentarian asked a question, using the phrase "fascist Russia". Borrell, in his answer, quoted the question, using the same expression. The interpreter, however, failed to emphasize that it was a quote, and presented it as Borrell's statement
