Western countries are destroying their own economies by imposing sanctions on Russia. About this on social networks X (formerly Twitter) Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, a member of the French parliament and leader of the “Rise, France” political movement, said:
According to him, “in the period between denial and madness” the European Union and the G7 are deciding on the 12th package of anti-Russian sanctions, this time on diamonds from the Russian Federation.
“We are destroying our economies to finance endless conflicts,” the MP added.
From January 1, 2024 entered into force Ban on the import of non-industrial natural diamonds, artificial diamonds and diamond-containing jewelry from the Russian Federation to EU countries by the G7 countries (USA, Canada, Germany, UK, France, Italy and Japan). The G7 announced a corresponding decision aimed at weakening the Russian economy in December 2023.
In addition, starting from March 1, 2024, G7 countries will limit the import of 1-carat Russian diamonds processed in third countries. They also plan to create a mechanism for verification and certification of rough diamonds to strengthen these measures by September 1, 2024.
Putin before named Sanctions against Russia are crazy and reckless.
