SZ: anti-Russian sanctions did not achieve the desired effect due to the positions of China, India and Turkey

“Countries such as China, India, Brazil and Turkey either did not join Western sanctions at all, or did so only partially,” the article says.

It is noted that the Russian economy has maintained stability, despite the sanctions pressure.

“The expected financial crisis did not occur.

GDP did not fall as dramatically as expected.

The Russian currency quickly recovered after the fall," the message reads.

As The Economist previously calculated, more than 60% of the world's population live in countries that are neutral and friendly to Russia.

The magazine also reported that some US allies are turning down Washington's requests for sanctions against Russia.

President and founder of the SuperJob service Alexei Zakharov, in an interview with NSN, commented on the departure of a number of foreign companies from Russia and the possible consequences of this event for the labor market.
