Commenting on the sanctions against Russia, Scott Johnson, a Bloomberg analyst, said yesterday that sanctions against the United States and the European Union had failed and that Russia's largest export source had no significant impact.
SIA refers to the "rambler".
"Russia's fortified economy has survived despite all the cracks. Did these sanctions have any effect? In fact, I don't think the financial sanctions we've seen so far have been very effective," Johnson said.
Charles Latin, a leading analyst at L Humanit, also says that sanctions against Russia have failed. According to him, these sanctions are hurting more ordinary Europeans than Russia.
It is interesting that, some local experts also confirm the ineffectiveness of sanctions.
"... The Russian economy has withstood the first blow, showing resilience to shocks. Although the package of sanctions has put psychological pressure on the Russian economy, the initial shock in the financial and foreign exchange markets has been largely compensated.
This was stated by Rossiyskaya Gazeta by Valery Mironov, Deputy Director of the Development Center Institute of the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University. According to him, it is the government's actions that have minimized the consequences of sanctions.
"Recently, the Bank of Russia has been making serious efforts to diversify its reserves, including the transfer of funds from dedollarized and threatened jurisdictions. In addition, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade and many other agencies are implementing import substitution programs. This allowed to ensure the economic security of Russian consumers," Mironov said.
Earlier, President Vladimir Putin said that the "economic blitzkrieg strategy" against Russia had failed. He noted that Western countries are planning to destabilize the economic situation in Russia, to create shortages in stores, to cause panic in the markets and the collapse of the banking system. But the situation is developing completely differently.
In particular, the head of state noted that the ruble returned to the level of the first half of February, and in the first quarter, the current balance of trade exceeded $ 58 billion.
I must say that this is also said by Deputy Director Valery Mironov. But I wonder if there is such an abundance in Russia, then why did Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, hint that they would "starve" some time ago?
Here, YOU also look, "... Russia is in a special situation now, the situation is difficult. Because unprecedented pressure from the West continues. These are not only sanctions, but also economic warfare and so on and so forth... ”
... Well, which one should we believe?
