Slutsky commented on the new EU anti-Russian sanctions

The agreement on new anti-Russian sanctions by the European Union (EU) shows the failure of previous restrictions. This was stated by the leader of the LDPR Leonid Slutsky in his Telegram channel.

“A sure sign that all other packages have failed and have not achieved their goals. This time, 1.5 thousand Russian companies and individuals will be subject to restrictions,” commented Slutsky.

He noted that Russian enterprises of the military-industrial complex (MIC) have switched to import substitution, so no sanctions will interfere with their development. In addition, EU sanctions primarily harm the economy of the eurozone itself, Slutsky emphasized.

On October 7, the EU approved the 22nd package of sanctions. The new lists included 1,646 individuals and legal entities.
