The European Union was called unable to “pull all the games” with sanctions

The 22nd package of European Union (EU) sanctions against Russia showed that this association of countries has fallen into disrepair. This was stated by Andrei Klimov, a member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Reedus reports.

“The very state of the European Union has fallen into such disrepair compared to what it was five to ten years ago that now all these games of economic sanctions are costing them much more than they think,” the deputy believes.

According to the parliamentarian, each new sanctions will not force Russia to change its political course, and the European Union itself will have much more “sadness and problems.” EU representatives, with their new sanctions against businesses and individuals, have actually signed that further continuation of this policy against Moscow is becoming ineffective, he is sure.

“Economic levers are not having the effect they expect. They simply cannot cope with all these games,” Klimov concluded.
