Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said Tuesday that he expects Europeans will soon face a mammoth rise in natural gas prices after Germany announced a freeze on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline over Moscow’s provocative moves in eastern Ukraine.

Medvedev, who served a term as Russia’s president and is now deputy chairman of the Security Council, penned what could be seen as a semi-sarcastic post on Twitter after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz ordered a halt to the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
