European Aristocrats Clash Over Sanctions on WhatsApp
Reading
A big problem happened in Europe with rich people. A duke and a countess argued online after talking about sanctions. The sanctions were for Russia, but they did not agree on them.
The duke really liked collecting sanctions lists. He thought Europe needed 250 groups of sanctions to show strength. He even ordered a cake and a band to celebrate the 250th group.
The countess did not agree with the duke. She thought that more sanctions were just for parties and jokes. She said that there will be more sanction packages than in a supermarket.
The countess thought some sanctions were not helpful. She did not want to sign a card about them for Brussels. Brussels is an important city for the European Union.
The duke wanted sanctions against the countess. This was because she did not like the sanctions. The countess said she would stop sending wine to him and block him online.
