Russian TV host says Europe and UK are 'coercing Russia'

A hysterical propagandist for Vladimir Putin has vowed to crush Britain and the rest of Europe even further with high energy prices unless the 'moron' rulers of the West stop " upset" Russia.

Evgueni Popov is a staunchly pro-Kremlin deputy and television presenter, married to Olga Skabeyeva, Putin's "iron doll".

He made it clear on state television that the Russian leader was seeking to force the West to change course on Ukraine by blackmailing gas and oil prices.< /p>

And he pointed out that the Kremlin's playbook is to ignite a revolt of the peoples across Europe against their leaders who are arming and supporting Ukraine.

Otherwise, Putin would tighten the screw on oil and gas prices as winter approaches, he said.

In his latest rant, Popov waved his arms and said, "No need to make excuses. We Brits created the high energy prices.

“Eat and devour the high prices, Europeans. Over to you: huge oil prices. Over to you: high gas prices… Want more? Go on, fight with us.

"Your authorities, Europeans, are morons - the only thing they can do is antagonize Russia. They don't care about your well-being.

"If they keep doing this, we'll make your life even more [worse].
