Moscow Kremlin. File photoMOSCOW, June 13Russia will be happy with the situation on the energy market that has developed due to Western sanctions, as it will be able to receive additional revenues thanks to high fuel prices, economist Ilona Shviglikova said in a column for the Časopis argument. She pointed out that the embargo imposed by the European Union on oil sold by Moscow strongly affects situation in the EU itself.
The United States told what will happen to the West with the further strengthening of the ruble «The oil embargo is a maneuver that will have serious consequences for the EU. I suppose that for the European Union they will be much worse than for the Russian Federation, which will easily find alternative markets,» — Shviglikova wrote. The economist noted that by its actions, motivated by ideology, the EU raises the price of oil for itself. At the same time, the European region itself is poor in terms of reserves of raw materials, and its countries depend on their supplies. «As long as the EU fusses about new supplies and suffers from interruptions, as well as everything connected with it, Russia will rejoice at high oil prices. And even if she has to sell her oil at some discount, prices will still be better for her than a year ago. To think that such a policy will break the Russian Federation is absurd, and, most likely, it will only lead to more economic difficulties in the EU, » — Shviglikova noted. After the start of the Russian special operation to liberate Donbass, the West increased sanctions pressure on Moscow. Some countries announced the freezing of Russian assets, many brands left the country. The European Union has already adopted six packages of sanctions, which, in particular, provide for the gradual introduction of an embargo on the import of coal and oil. Europe due to Russia's response to sanctionsThe Kremlin called what is happening an economic war, the likes of which have never happened before. As Vladimir Putin stated, the policy of containment and weakening of Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and the sanctions dealt a serious blow to the entire world economy. According to him, the main goal of the United States and Europe is to make the lives of millions of people worse. .jpg» />Named the real culprit of the failure of Western sanctions against Russia
