“As sanctions pressure intensifies, Washington, which is less dependent on energy and trade with Russia, is suffering less damage,” columnist Siqi Cao said.
The journalist added that the EU countries are experiencing the consequences of anti-Russian sanctions affecting the production and life of ordinary people, since they have close ties with Russia in the fields of industry and energy.
According to Yiwei Wang, director of the Institute of International Relations at Renmin University of China, EU countries have already begun to wonder if they have been deceived by calls for new restrictions.
Meanwhile, the White House has already acknowledged that it will be difficult for Europe to overcome dependence on Russian energy resources.
Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that sanctions and an embargo on gas from Russia would destroy the European economy.
