AC: the failure of the sanctions regime has exposed the underlying problems of US foreign policy

This opinion was expressed by American analyst Mark Episkopos in a piece for American Conservative.

“The failure of the sanctions regime has become so obvious that it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore,” he said.

According to Episkopos, Russia’s resources have proven “too vast” and its influence in the world “too entrenched” to be “effectively isolated.”

Earlier, US leader Joe Biden extended for a year the regime of sanctions imposed against Russia.

European Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis also spoke about the difficulties in agreeing on anti-Russian sanctions.
