Ex-Russian President Says Romania “Not A Nation,” Rejects Calls For Moscow To Return Seized Gold

Putin ally Dmitry Medvedev claimed Romania is “not a nation,“ rejecting a call for Moscow to return the country’s confiscated gold. The EU has demanded the return of 91.5 metric tonnes of gold and cultural artefacts that were exported to the Russian Empire in 1916-1917 by Romania. Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said the Romanian debts to Russia and the Soviet Union are equivalent to 1,365–1,665 tonnes of gold. Zakharova said the debt is 20–25 times greater than the value of the entire Romanian gold reserve sent to Russia in 1916–1917. #romania #russia #europe #putin #russia #russiaukrainewar #ukraine #putin #usa Video: AP/AFP/Reuters/Twitter 0:00 - Introduction 0:34 - “Romania Not a Nation” Putin Ally Tells Eu to “f*** Off” Over Gold Demand 2:04 - Russia Says “hitler Ally” Romania’s Debt to Ussr in “billions” 4:03 - Medvedev Mocks “europe’s Weaklings” Meeting in Berlin n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
