Zakharova called the EU ban on Russian gas "complete darkness."

On October 23, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, responding to a question from Izvestia, called the EU's approval of a ban on Russian gas imports "complete darkness."

"A classic story about the realization of a philosophical concept, I'll freeze my ears off to spite my grandmother. The European Union has long prioritized causing the maximum possible damage to the Russian fuel and energy complex, regardless of the negative consequences for itself and its state members," Zakharova said.
