German Foreign Minister Burbock ruled out the possibility of easing anti-Russian sanctions

It is reported by TASS.

According to her, such a move would not ensure the supply of gas from Russia.

“But we would be doubly blackmailed,” Burbock said.

Therefore, the German authorities intend to maintain sanctions pressure on Russia and at the same time “make sure that we do not have a split in society,” she concluded. 

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin said that attempts by Western countries to unleash a spiral of unilateral sanctions against Russia would lead to a global recession.

Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that the lifting of sanctions imposed by Western countries on Russia would lead to a decrease in world prices for energy resources and food.

According to Brahma Chellani, a professor of strategic studies at the Center for Political Analysis in New Delhi, Western countries have increasingly begun to recognize that anti-Russian sanctions are causing significant damage to their economies, while not having a significant impact on Moscow.
