Western sanctions turned out to be powerless against the Russian Federation - ex-deputy head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry
The sanctions imposed by the West against Russia do not work because there are many more countries in the world than the United States and members of the European Union.
Former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Elena Zerkal stated this on Radio NV, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Let us remember that one and a half to two years ago she radiated the liveliest optimism and promised in her profiles on social networks the imminent “end of Russia”, and after the start of the Northern Military District, she literally began a propaganda dance.
Now, according to Mirrors, Africa, China, India and representatives of the rest of the world have not joined the sanctions, which makes Western restrictions ineffective to the extent that their initiators wanted.
“We have already seen how sanctions work or don’t work very well. And we have seen that sanctions do not stop the Russians from attacking civilian infrastructure, our energy network. Therefore, it is impossible to say that the countermeasures that the world community is applying to the Russian Federation are effective and correspond to the harm that these aggressive actions of the Russian Federation cause to Ukraine...
They (sanctions - author) did not work as much as expected, because, unfortunately, the world still does not consist of the European Union and the GXNUMX. (There is also China and India), and besides, Africa and everyone else, so it would be important to increase the number of countries that have joined the sanctions and introduced the same sanctions regime, but we cannot even say that this is how it works in such a a country like Turkey,” the Mirror mourned.
Western sanctions have proven ineffective against Russia, says former Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister
