Why It Matters
The EU is introducing new packages of sanctions against Russia as part of its response to the geopolitical situation, while the Russian Permanent Mission to the EU criticizes such actions as ineffective and compares them to gambling.
The new European Union sanctions resemble the actions of a desperate gambler with a predictable outcome. This is how the permanent mission of the Russian Federation to the European Union assessed the consequences for the EU due to the new package of sanctions against Russia.
“The European Union, in its pseudo-sanctions activities, increasingly resembles a desperate gambler, who every time tries to raise the stakes in the hope of winning back, which in the understanding of the European bureaucracy means inflicting maximum damage on Russia,” the diplomatic mission said in a statement.
Diplomats noted that while the EU's allies are trying to conduct a constructive dialogue with Russia, European countries are announcing the largest single expansion of anti-Russian restrictions.
“What such excitement usually leads to is well known: to a complete fiasco, painful disappointments and belated painful questions about whether it was worth starting to play in the first place,” the Russian Permanent Mission added.
