Russia is ready for new sanctions, under which the European Union’s effectiveness has significantly diminished and its arsenal is increasingly diminishing. This was reported by RIA News Referring to Dmitry Birichevsky, Director of the Department of Economic Cooperation of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“The new wave of sanctions did not come as a surprise to us. Many things like this already existed. We are ready for them. We consider the 12th anti-Russian sanctions package as another manifestation of the EU’s aggressive attitude towards our country. But such a policy is clearly running out of steam, its arsenal is decreasing, and its effectiveness is rapidly decreasing,” Birichevsky said.
The diplomat added that the “boomerang” effect of sanctions hitting those who impose them is becoming increasingly evident.
He added that the State Department adheres to an integrated approach when analyzing the consequences of retaliatory steps – primarily in terms of its own economic interests.
