“I would call it a sanctions frenzy.
Apparently, Ursula von der Leyen herself and her inner circle are in a state of bitterness, and the only thing they seek is to create difficulties for Russia, ”the expert noted.
According to him, the sanctions appeared as the intention of the EU to support the regime of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
“If you approach this from the point of view of common sense, what benefits can there be for the EU itself?
No one doubts that the Zelensky regime is acting contrary to the interests of the Ukrainian people, contrary to Ukrainian statehood,” Olenchenko said.
From a political point of view, according to the political scientist, one-sidedness without common sense is visible, and from an economic point of view, as the analyst noted, this package is aimed at creating difficulties in the Russian economy.
“Real leverage has been exhausted, already in the EC, and the Americans understand that sanctions are not capable of turning the tide of events.
And Russia has proven that it is able to act effectively under sanctions and will steadily and purposefully achieve its goals, ”concluded the RT interlocutor.
Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, spoke about the forthcoming tenth package of sanctions against Russia.
As she said, speaking at the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, this package implies trade restrictions for €11 billion.
