According to him, the world is currently experiencing a “very turbulent” time. NATO countries deliberately launched a hybrid war against Russia in a number of dimensions, especially in the economic sphere.

“About 16-17 thousand sanctions have been imposed against our country. Now they are threatening the 13th package with some kind of draconian package,” TASS quotes him.

He added that military operations are being conducted against the Russian side “in the information environment, psychological and through military pressure, where Ukraine serves as such a theater for hot military actions.”

Grushko expressed the opinion that Western countries already understand that the Ukrainian project, as it was conceived, is close to its final collapse, but the hybrid war against Russia needs a constant supply of fuel.

Earlier, the Sber financial analytics center prepared a study that talks about the “reverse effects” of anti-Russian sanctions and the short-sightedness of those who introduced restrictions against Russia.
