“The fact that the sanctions policy against Russia is not only erroneous, senseless and illogical, but also frankly harmful to Europe itself is understood by many EU countries, but few have the courage to admit it.

To destroy their own economy with absurd sanctions in favor of the United States and at the same time blame Russia - this is the form of collective insanity that the EU countries have adopted for themselves, ”Belik emphasized.

According to him, an adequate assessment of the situation, which was demonstrated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Hungary, "is not yet able to influence the absurd anti-Russian course to nowhere, followed by European supporters of sanctions."

“The rise in food and fuel prices, the energy crisis, inflation is far from a complete list of the problems that Europe has faced after the introduction of new restrictions,” the RT interlocutor added. 

According to the deputy, the United States assigned Europe the role of an irreconcilable opponent of our country, which is developing new packages of sanctions, wasting its resources, devastating its arsenals, shaking the information field and incurring significant losses.

“Washington is watching this from the outside and is solving its problems at the expense of European states,” he concluded.

Earlier, the Hungarian Foreign Ministry called the tenth package of sanctions against Russia "a huge mistake."

On January 17, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that the EU plans to introduce a tenth round of sanctions against Russia.
