“Europe, “built” by Washington on the anti-Russian front, suffers more than others from thoughtless sanctions, devastates its arsenals, supplying weapons to Kyiv (without requiring an account of who then controls it and where it ends up),” he said in an article for “ Izvestia".

The head of the National Rally faction in the French parliament, Marine Le Pen, earlier on the air of BFMTV called the EU anti-Russian sanctions ineffective.
According to the politician, it is the restrictions directed against Moscow that are the main cause of inflation in France.
German Economy Minister Robert Habek noted that no EU country alone can cope with the energy crisis.
At the same time, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on EU countries to stop complaining and paying for sanctions.
