Lavrov suspected the US of trying to weaken the EU with anti-Russian sanctions

Anti-Russian sanctions harm the European Union more than the United States. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, RIA Novosti reports.

“If you look at the list of sanctions that currently exists - an interesting analysis, I recommend doing it - but if you compare the sanctions that European countries impose against RUSSIA and Belarus, and, on the other hand, that the United States imposes, then The United States , in general, spares itself and tries not to be very active in those areas that can harm its economy,” Lavrov said.

The HEAD of the Russian Foreign Ministry came to the conclusion that US sanctions are aimed not only at weakening Russia, but also at weakening the EU. At the same time, Lavrov noted, the sanctions also harm the American economy.

On February 24, Russia announced the start of a military special operation in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin said that it was necessary to protect the civilian population of Donbass from "genocide", as well as for the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine.

Western countries have introduced several packages of sanctions against Russia. The restrictive measures affected the reserves of the Central Bank, the EXPORT of a wide range of technologies and goods to the country, the activities of Russian banks, including Sberbank and VTB, businessmen and their property in the West, as well as officials and politicians who, according to the authorities of Western countries, are involved in a special operation in Ukraine .

The Russian authorities have repeatedly called such restrictions illegal, and also noted that they have a serious negative impact on the economies of those countries that introduce them. Thus, Russian President Vladimir Putin estimated the possible losses of the EU from sanctions against Russia at $400 billion.

In addition, the President of Russia refused to link the current rise in prices on world markets with a special operation in Ukraine. According to Putin, the current inflation is connected with the systemic mistakes of the US and the EU in economic policy.
