Pushkov recalled the situation with Russian fertilizers, the purchase of which is secretly encouraged by the US government.

“The attempt to isolate itself from Russia is costing the West dearly.

They already understood it, but they are afraid to admit it.

And gray schemes are being used against their own sanctions,” he wrote.

According to Bloomberg, the US government is secretly encouraging agricultural and transport companies to increase their purchases of Russian fertilizers in connection with sanctions and a sharp increase in food prices.

As Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten noted earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin was right when he said that the West's economic blitzkrieg against Russia had failed because Moscow was "well prepared for an economic war."
