Economist Ruger: US sanctions against Russia are "shooting" themselves in the foot

It is reported by RIA Novosti.

“The typical picture that we are seeing from the current administration (USA. -

) is political decisions that, it seems, should benefit American taxpayers or people abroad, but in fact turn out to be shot in the foot,” - the agency quotes the professor.

Ruger assessed the increase in Russia's income from the sale of energy resources as a consequence of incorrect actions on the part of the countries that imposed sanctions.

“And then, before our eyes, the United States says: you know, we need to provide subsidies for global food aid,” the scientist concluded.

On June 18, it was reported that a large-scale protest began in the capital of Great Britain in connection with the rising cost of living and record inflation in the country.

The British Congress of Trade Unions, the organizer of the action, said that workers are suffering from the "longest and most severe" income cuts in history.
