Putin To US: It’s Bad To Read Other People’s Letters -- RT
President Vladimir Putin says it was “strange” to learn of the US reaction on a Russian letter to the leaders of EU’s top gas-consuming nations, as it was in no way designed for Washington’s eyes.
US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki has accused Russia of reneging on an agreement that offered reduced gas prices to Kiev and using “energy as a tool of coercion against Ukraine.”
The price Ukraine is currently paying is “clearly not set by market forces and well above the average price paid by EU members,” she added.
“It’s a bit strange,” Putin said after Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov informed him of the US comments during a Russian Security Council meeting. “It’s strange, at any rate, as it’s bad to read other people’s letters. It wasn’t addressed to them, but the consumers of gas in Europe.”

My Comment: "Reading other people's mail" .... the look that ex-KGB boss Putin gives at the beginning of the above video is priceless .... talk about the coffee pot calling the tea kettle black. But the rest of the video is actually very good .... Putin is right that Western promises of aid to Ukraine are just that .... promises and loan guarantees .... with no real money actually being offered.
But Putin should not look so glum .... he just got a massive pay raise.
