The UK’s sanctions policy is a misguided tactic that the West used in the hope of destroying Russia’s economy, but ultimately strengthened it. This was stated by the first Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on international Affairs Alexei Chepa in an interview with Lenta.ru.

So Chepa commented on the preparation by London of the largest package of sanctions since the beginning of the special military operation (SVO). According to the deputy, Western countries planned to cause great damage to the Russian economy, destabilize the situation inside the country, but this failed. “The sanctions war forced us to rebuild the economy, which has had a positive impact on us, but has had a negative impact on European countries,” he said. The new package of sanctions is another mistake of some politicians, which has a very negative impact on the economic development of their countries. Chepa added that the large losses from sanctions openly speaks including the administration of US President Donald Trump. On February 23, British Foreign Minister David Lammy said he was preparing to announce the largest package of sanctions against Russia since the start of the special operation. According to him, the new restrictions are timed to the third anniversary of the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, Lammy added that it was time to “tighten the screws on Putin’s Russia.” In turn, the head of the Federation Council Commission on information policy Alexei Pushkov said that the European Union staged a “riot on the American ship”, introducing new anti-Russian sanctions. His actions showed that the policy of the US President on the Ukrainian issue is unimportant. The 16th package of anti-Russian sanctions will begin to operate on February 24.
