Dmitriev pointed to the possible use of Hantavirus to justify the energy crisis.

The panic over the spread of Hantavirus is exaggerated, but it can be used to justify the energy crisis in the UK and the European Union (EU) countries. This was announced on May 11 by Kirill Dmitriev, special representative of the President of Russia for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), on the social network X.

"The hysteria around Hantavirus is exaggerated — but it can be used to justify energy lockdowns in the UK/EU," he said.
