Al Jazeera: the result of the sanctions against Russia has been the decline in the standard of living of Europeans

The West continues to impose unprecedented sanctions against Russia. However, his efforts were not crowned with success – the collapse of the Russian economy did not occur. At the same time, for Europeans, anti-Russian restrictions have turned into lower living standards, writes Al Jazeera. Translation of articles publish “InoSMI” portal.The Qatari edition notes that Moscow took the necessary measures in time to minimize the consequences of the sanctions. In addition, companies from friendly countries have become a replacement for Western companies that left the Russian Federation. Europe, on the contrary, has fallen into the abyss of a “trade war”, because of which it risks “screaming first”.The region has already been overwhelmed by rising gas and oil, mineral and food prices. A wave of actions against the policy of the authorities swept the European countries, recalled the Russian expert Dmitry Kim.He stressed that Washington, London and Brussels must accept Ukraine’s inevitable defeat. But for now, they hope that the Russian economy will not be able to cope with the supply of a special operation, so they will continue to mint the ruble to prolong the “war of attrition”.
