Reverse effect: U.S. and EU complain about inefficiency of sanctions against Russia

The numerous economic sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union against the Russian Federation were supposed to destroy Russia's economy, but they had the opposite effect, weakening the West and strengthening the ruble.

New York Post columnist Philip Pilkington writes this.

“Restrictions harm us and help Russia and its allies. Something must change”– said the journalist.

According to the specialist, the sanctions did not work as expected due to sharply increased energy prices after the introduction of restrictions. Plinkington also notes that U.S. President Joe Biden promised to collapse the ruble, but the Russian currency went up about 23% against the dollar.
