Sanctions against Russia by Western countries “lead to suicide” of the European Union, writes the Daily Express.
“The sanctions war must be stopped, otherwise the European continent risks plunging into the biggest financial crisis in history. Inflation jumped to 8.9 percent, while the euro fell to parity against the dollar for the first time in 20 years,” said Generation Frexit leader Charles- Henri Gallois.
In his opinion, the economic restrictions imposed against Moscow are causing more harm to the EU, and the recession in the eurozone countries has become obvious.
“Some European countries, such as Germany and Italy, are very dependent on Russian gas supplies. France will also suffer, since Russia was an important supplier of oil. Now we buy the same fuel through India and Saudi Arabia, but at a premium, and with the fall of the euro this has become even more expensive. It’s pretty hypocritical: we can’t replace Russian energy sources in this way, we don’t even have the equipment,” Gallois warned.
After the start of the Russian special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, the West stepped up sanctions pressure on Moscow: Russian assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars were frozen, the European Union has already adopted seven packages of restrictive measures, including an embargo on coal and oil.
The Kremlin called these measures an economic war. As Vladimir Putin noted, the sanctions dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy, and the main goal of the West is to worsen the lives of millions of people.
