Sibiha: The new sanctions of the EU and the USA dealt a strong blow to Russia
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiha believes that the latest sanctions imposed by the EU and the US are a real blow to Russia, although Moscow denies this.
Sibiha believes that this week marked a new phase in the pressure to force Russia to peace, given that the EU agreed on a powerful 19th package of sanctions that affects Russian energy, the shadow fleet and ways to circumvent sanctions, and the Trump administration also applied its first sanctions against Moscow, hitting energy giants Rosneft and Lukoil.
"It is significant that the Russians immediately rushed to say that they don't care about sanctions. Putin claims that everything is fine with the Russian economy. His propagandists repeat their mantras that sanctions have no effect. The more this courage, the more obvious that the opposite is true," Sibiha wrote on Facebook.
Sibiha believes that the first US sanctions against Russia in Trump's second term"draw an important strategic line" and warned that Russian leaders should abandon any hope of weakness in the West or the chance to deceive the US.
"Russia actually hoped all this year that Ukraine would lose the support of its partners or be forced to accept Russian terms that were close to capitulation. None of that happened," said Sibiha.
