Political scientist Samueli: the course of the West to inflict damage on Russia fails

“The course of inflicting damage on Russia is clearly failing.

The only ones who (sanctions. -

) are harmed are the unfortunate Europeans, ”he said.

Samueli cited as an example the statement of the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, that the EU has to buy Russian energy resources so that Russia "does not earn even more."

“(German Chancellor Olaf. -

) Scholz talked about giving up gas.

But in all significant sectors of German industry, he was told: “Shut off the gas - and we are finished, we will return to the state in which we were in 1945!”

You can't just say, “Forget about Russia.

Let's turn to Qatar," the political scientist added.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on Ursula von der Leyen's statement on MSNBC that the EU "is forced to buy Russian oil so that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not earn even more."
