Analysis and Opinion #Sanctions

The “official narrative” surrounding the Ukrainian Conflict has flipped in recent weeks from prematurely celebrating Russia’s defeat to nowadays seriously warning about its strategic success. As proof of precisely that, the New York Times (NYT) just admitted that the West’s anti-Russian sanctions are a failure.

The ongoing sanctions war against Russia and the rejection of part of Russian energy resources have caused a sharp increase in fuel and food prices. As a result, all restrictions against Russia did not achieve the desired effect and worked against the European Union itself.
