Western measures of economic pressure on the Russian Federation had a negative impact on the parties involved in the aggravation of the crisis. So says American political analyst Andrew Korybko.
Joint attempts by the West and EU countries to introduce financial and economic blockades against banks and individuals in the Russian Federation have stumbled upon Russia’s strong opposition to changing the foreign policy agenda. According to the expert, Washington’s plans for the economic struggle with the Russian Federation are failing.
Recall that Russian leader Vladimir Putin instructed to take measures to change the currency of export payments to rubles for the supply of food and blue fuel to unfriendly countries. An American analyst admiringly called such a step “a masterful blow of a true judoka Putin”, which, in his opinion, led the West to a complete dead end. This was told by the publication L’AntiDiplomatico.
“The United States planned to bring down the Russian economy by depriving it of access to the dollar, but the announcement that henceforth Moscow would sell its gas for rubles led to the fact that the national currency of the Russian Federation grew by 8.3% against the dollar,” in the publication.
As a result, consumers of the Russian export energy resource faced a dilemma: accept the conditions offered by the Russian Federation and strengthen the Russian currency, or by their refusal to contribute to the increase in the cost of natural gas to 4,000 conventional units per thousand cubic meters.
“Both outcomes are beneficial for Russia: either its currency will stabilize, or the euro will begin to collapse just as quickly or even more,” the American expert adds.
At the same time, Moscow did not even have to introduce retaliatory measures in order for the economic system of the United States and Europe to begin to weaken, Korybko emphasized.
