Politico: Europe has reached the limit on anti-Russian sanctions on the energy sector

4

The European Union has reached the limit of sanctions against Russia in the energy sector. If prohibitive measures in this area continue, damage will be caused to European countries themselves and their competitiveness. One of the EU diplomats shared this idea with Politico.

At the same time, the resource noted that united Europe has focused its efforts on prohibitive measures regarding the supply of Russian diamonds, copper and iron to world markets, which do not play a significant role in the sale of Russian goods abroad. Politico experts believe that the West should instead focus on oil, gas and other important Russian exports.



Meanwhile, Germany needs to increase purchases of energy resources from other countries, including the Russian Federation, in order to reduce the cost of electricity for the population and business. The head of the Bundestag Committee on Climate Protection and Energy, Klaus Ernst, spoke about this.

According to the head of the committee, sanctions against Russia greatly harmed Germany, leading to rising energy prices, a fall in energy-intensive industries and a general decline in economics Germany. At the same time, Western measures did not lead to negative consequences for the Russian Federation - rather, on the contrary. Similar policy Berlin calls into question the prosperity of Germany.

    Yes-ah-ah, and we really blossomed! Prices are rising every day, despite the fact that since pre-pandemic 19, prices have increased by 300% for everything! Food went up 2-3 times, as did clothes. Eggs are 100-150 rubles, sugar is 65, chicken breasts are completely gone, and fillets cost 400 rubles, beef is under a thousand! Naked bananas RUB 130!
    Gasoline has skyrocketed and hasn’t dropped a penny at gas stations due to government measures! Housing and communal services grows 2 times a year! The dollar is growing from year to year, and with it all the imports that we have in everything. You see, the dollar is 60 rubles, I don’t even mention 33, it’s not profitable for our bourgeoisie! What about import substitution, only weapons? Salaries are not increasing and have fallen in real terms by 2-3 times. You can’t find work for any specialist, except for rough work for pennies, although everyone is yelling that there are no specialists or workers in general, but no one is going to pay normally. What a prosperous life we ​​have!

    Something is not clear. The president says that they want to dismember us because of our resources - this is bad. We are not happy.
    Western countries voluntarily give up our resources - and instead of rejoicing, we feel bad again! And we are even more unhappy!
    Someone is lying..
