MOSCOW, 30 Aug. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz don't understand why Russian leader Vladimir Putin doesn't care about Western sanctions, American journalist Jackson Hinkle said on his YouTube blog.
“
“Scholz and Macron are just furious because Putin does not care about anti-Russian sanctions. When they met with him, he did not even mention the restrictive measures in the conversation. Macron couldn't understand: what the hell was going on? Hinkle said.
According to the journalist, the head of the Russian state is not worried about the economic pressure of the West, since it harmed Washington and Brussels, while Moscow won in this area.
br>The United States and the European Union began to impose restrictive measures against Russia after the start of a special operation to liberate Donbass from Ukrainian nationalists. The sanctions, designed to damage the Russian economy, hit primarily the United States and Europe, led to an increase in fuel and food prices in these regions.
Moscow called the actions of Washington and Brussels an economic war, but emphasized that that they were ready for such a scenario.
