Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has compiled what he called a list of "their sins," a reference to what he sees as the shortcomings of the US and Europe. The list was published on Medvedev's Telegram channel on Thursday and comes a day after the former president outlined Russia's 'sins', a mocking exhortation to the West to blame Moscow for all manner of ills, from US President Joe Biden's gaffes to even the extinction of the dinosaurs.

"THEIR SINS (what Russia is not guilty of): European fools being cynically conned by the Americans, who forced them to endure the most painful consequences of the sanctions that have hit the populations of EU countries; ordinary Europeans freezing cold in their homes this winter; the highest food inflation in decades in Europe and the United States; EU and US companies losing their multibillion-dollar investments in the Russian economy," he wrote.

Medvedev added that Moscow has nothing to do with "Americans electing a strange old man with dementia who, having forgotten about his duties, loves another country much more than his own." He also noted that Russia is not to blame for "town crazies who proclaimed themselves the EU leadership irrevocably losing touch with reality and making poor Ukrainians sacrifice their lives to join the EU."
