According to the Russian senator, in cases with sanctions, two assessments of their consequences are always possible – optimistic and pessimistic.
Commenting on the reaction of Russian business, which was relieved to accept the next package of US sanctions against Russia, well-known publicist Alexei Pushkov said that the Biden administration plans to adopt even tougher sanctions.
“Its task is to damage the Russian economy and Russia itself. Therefore, the White House will be guided by precisely these considerations, and not counter-arguments, although it can take them into account to a certain extent”, – Pushkov noted in his Telegram channel.
