Moscow-Sana
The Chairman of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin stressed that the packages of European sanctions prove that the arsenal of means to contain Russia and limit its development by the West has been exhausted.
And Russia Today quoted Volodin as saying on the Telegram channel that “the analysis of sanctions and previous decisions of Brussels and Washington shows that taking new sanctions measures will force Western politicians to choose between a very bad and bad scenario for their economies and citizens of their countries.”
Volodin explained that for his country, the potential losses from the embargo on oil exports to Europe could reach $22 billion annually, but due to the high energy prices raised by the sanctions themselves and the redirection of Russian oil sales markets to the Asian direction, the costs could be fully offset, and the Russian economy boomed. In the future.
He pointed out that Europe will pay more than 250 billion euros annually due to the rise in record energy prices, pointing out that "Washington is doing everything so that the burden of implementing the main sanctions falls on European countries, which confirms that it is seeking to deliberately weaken the economies of the European Union in order to make them more dependent on the United States." “.
Volodin considered that Washington "wants to rule those countries that previously aspired to more independence... Now these countries can hardly even think about that because they have more problems."
The Council of the European Union announced yesterday that the new European sanctions approved the gradual elimination of the import of Russian oil within 6 months and petroleum products within 8 months, which increases the energy crisis in European countries.
