Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) CEO Kirill Dmitriev, who is also the special presidential representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, predicted a fuel crisis for the EU and UK in two to three weeks.
"As predicted, fuel rationing is imminent in UK & EU," Dmitriev said on X. "Crisis will be obvious in UK/EU in 2–3 weeks. Reality bites."
Dmitriev also suggested that Europeans should remember the EU leadership at gas stations, where fuel prices were rising.
"Remember them at [gas station]," Dmitriev said, reposting a photo featuring, among others, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.
