Russia sent out “state comedians” Vovan and Lexus again to prank call european politicians. This time around they got to Robert Habeck.
Thats about all, because the publicly released portion of the phonecall between them was so short and uneventfully that I’ll not even bother linking to the original video.
The highlight from the Russian Progagandas view was probably, that they could bury a “Ukraine let only 30% of the grain exported through the Black Sea Grain innitiative go to African countries”, which Habeck let fly, and a “energy prices currently are still high” from Habeck as part of a “but they are going to relax with all the additional LNG entering the european market” statement he made.
Which is… ehm… well that LNG isnt entering the African market, is it--- and Habeck was under the impression that he was speaking to an african official (Meloni was as well) so thats at least a little bit akward, for all the wrong reasons, but the comedians cut off the talk at the “currently energy prices are still high, but…” stage of the sentence Habeck was still setting up.
And then thats it - that was the entire phone call. According to the german ministry of economic affairs, they had connection issues…
I guess the story here is that they also got Habeck.
Which is kind of a non story… I just feel obliged to post this, because I posted transcripts of all the other phone calls in the past.
To make one for this phone call would be a waste of my time. If you have to watch it, go with autogenerated youtube subtitles using the video version here.
