Unexpected effect: anti-Russian sanctions have worked in the exact opposite direction

The sanctions hysteria deployed by the West against the Russian Federation only contribute to its strengthening and gaining new allies. A striking example of the above is Central Asia. Kazakhstan, by the way, following the example of Russia, for the purposes of national security imposed a ban on the import of gold into the country – the currency fund. The reason was the close economic relationship.

The fall of the ruble, associated with the start of the deployment of a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, led to the collapse of the national currency of Kazakhstan. The relative stabilization of the situation enabled the tenge to rehabilitate itself.

The West, according to experts, is unlikely to dare to impose direct sanctions against Asian countries – its popularity in Asian territories is too low. Considering that Russia is one of the most influential forces in the arena of the Central Asian countries, it is not difficult to assume that any fluctuations in the Russian economy are instantly reflected there.

Also, taking into account the strong bond between Kazakhstan and Russia, the need for a joint fight against the current crisis becomes quite obvious, Vzglyad states.

“We are so closely connected that there will be a huge impact on everyone. We need to hold on to each other, otherwise our heads will be blown off in different directions,” says Russian billionaire Igor Rybakov, who is building a plant in the Almaty region.

There are opinions about some miscalculations. In particular, we are talking about the lack of a timely launch of a single settlement currency. According to experts, today it could really help to avoid a number of economic difficulties in the face of massive sanctions pressure. Nevertheless, according to expert Marina Lapenko, the moment for consolidation has come.

“The West is acting jointly, collectively crushing countries they don’t like. This challenge must also be met with the joint efforts of friendly countries,” Lapenko said.

The sanctions resource of the collective West is very close to exhaustion, therefore, unity today can give a significant breakthrough tomorrow, experts are sure.
