Sanctions and Russia. Anushka has already spilled oil

The video of Moscow Day resorts to the obvious EU gas blackmail. Exhibits an ultimatum - either remove sanctions or there will be no gas. In early September, the Sanctions have been operating in the early September. The secret report was preparing for the Russian government. It reflects the extremely negative impact of Western sanctions imposed on the Russian economy through invasion of Ukraine. The forecast is very disappointing, I would say catastrophic. Russia is waiting for a heavy winter.

And then two or even three years of deep recession, with an annual fall in the economy by more than 11%. Therefore, even by 2030, the Russian economy will not reach the pre -war level. There has been no similar in Russia since the collapse of the USSR. Today, the Russian Federation is already experiencing cumulative effect from sanctions.

The sanction coalition of states led by the United States (a kind of sanction Ramstein) has introduced seven packages of sanctions against Russia over 200 days of the Great War. And now the eighth is being discussed and prepared. Instead, the Russian Federation begins to nervously nervously and resort to the strategy of internal unrest in European countries, terror at the Zaporizhzhya NPP and already open gas blackmail.

The masks of the rhetoric of Russia are more or less unambiguous and, to me, the predictable-a lie plus blackmail. The pro -Russian forces have been laid all over the EU. We see how pro -Russian canned food is revealed in a particular European country. Demonstrations are organized demanding sanctions and understanding to quench gas and energy prices, and therefore rising prices for consumer goods. All this is moderated from the Kremlin.

Similar actions and statements are actively relaxed on all three major federal propaganda channels of the Russian Federation. Look, say Russian propagandists, Europeans see and demand to relieve us sanctions. Although, in fact, prices are not rising because of Western sanctions against Russia, but through Europe's gas blackmail by Russia.

What is so concerned about the aggressor state? The answer to those sanctions that have already been introduced, as well as in monitoring their negative impact on the Russian economy. Such a document is prepared by the Kiev School of Economics for the International Working Group of Yermak-Macfola every two weeks to strengthen sanctions against the Russian Federation.

I will remind that this working group was created on the initiative of the President and is the main expert platform for the development of the list, order and consistency of sanctions against Russia for a full -scale attack on our country. The group includes leading international and Ukrainian experts.

The plan of action of the group for the implementation of anti -Russian sanctions provides oil, transport, financial, individual sanctions, as well as sanctions against large Russian state monopolies. In addition, sanctions are strict control and maximum restriction of exports from developed countries to Russia of high technology, including dual -use technologies that can be used for the production of weapons or military equipment.

According to this plan of actions of the country that will cooperate with Russia in the sub -sectors or the sub -nomenclature of goods and services, will also be subject to sanctions - these are so -called secondary sanctions. And countries and businesses that will cooperate with the Russian Federation in the still allowed sectors and areas must reveal all their equipment in front of the competent authorities.

It is important that the plan envisages at each stage of its implementation of deepening coordination of sanctions between countries. What we currently have. To the whole bouquet of sanctions in the oil and gas sector - and there will soon be an embargo on Russian oil - after the ban on imports of Russian coal from August 1 in the EU and from August 10 in the United Kingdom, Russian coal exports have actually stopped.

The sanctions that have come into force forbid EU operators to insure coal supply, preventing them from rediating to China and India, where coal is, by the way, very demanded. In addition, the agreement was reached, including within the G-7 limits on the price limit for Russian oil. It can be said that the civilized world has decided to stand firmly on sanctions, to implement this price cap and to deprive Russia of oil and gas income. And we already see how the price of oil begins to go down.

In the financial sector, the sanctions are imposed on a number of Russian banks from the TOP-30, state Russian and Belarusian companies-the account of these companies goes not for tens, but for hundreds. Also frozen assets of senior management of the Russian Federation, high -ranking officials and their relatives. It is forbidden to buy Russian securities even in the secondary market around the world.

Switzerland has expanded the scope of the prohibition on the admission of deposits from Russians, both individuals and legal entities. Australia has announced its intention to prohibit importing Russian gold, already made by the United States, EU, Canada, United Kingdom. With regard to individual sanctions, about a thousand Russian officials have already been on the list, and it began, of the 13 high -ranking officials and their relatives, including Alina Kabayeva - Putin's civilian wife.

Regarding secondary sanctions. US Deputy Finance Minister, Wolly Adeam, warned Turkish companies that they are at risk of falling under US sanctions if they are doing business with Russian persons who have come under sanctions. In addition, many world oil traders and banks have ceased to cooperate with the Indian oil refining company Nayara Energy - the Rosneft branch. Among transport sanctions is a ban on access to Russian vessels to ports in the EU and the US.

Norway has continued an existing ban on access to its ports. Regarding exports of high technology to Russia, the United States has issued new licensing requirements for exporting computer circuits not only to Russia but also to China (including Hong Kong).

Norway has banned the exports of dual-use goods and technologies to four Russian organizations, expanded the list of goods and technologies forbidden for exports to the Russian Federation, which can facilitate military and technological strengthening of aggressor states. These are the main directions of those sanctions that the Group of Yermak-Macfola was introduced against Russia and which were implemented.

The whole list and depth of influence on Russia of these sanctions to give here simply there is no physical possibility and need. The sanction effect of the sanctions is already quite noticeable and painful. The Russian Ministry of Finance has recently reported the largest fall in the income of the Russian Derbudet in the last 11 years. In July, they fell 26% in annual terms. Oil and gas taxes collapsed by 22%, neoaptogaza - by 29%. VAT collection decreased by 40%and income tax - by 32%.

According to the results of July, a deficit was formed, which is equal to 33% of the monthly budget of the Russian Federation. All these are apparent evidence that sanctions imposed against Russia are also a lot. In addition, for the first time in more than the 20th anniversary of Putin's reign, the fall of the popularity of federal channels is recorded in the Russian Federation.

That is, the refrigerator of the Russian inhabitant who began to empty, began to take his positions on a TV, which is overflowing with propaganda. That is why the Kremlin is hysterical now. That is why the Kremlin resorts to the most brutal blackmail, behaving like a terrorist. Among the proposals is the section on the recognition of the Russian Federation by the state - sponsor of terrorism.

This has already been done by the Diet of Lithuania and Latvia, for which we are grateful to these courageous countries that border the Russian Federation and are under a constant threat. But the key solution and leadership in the United States. There is a rather rigid and subject discussion. The resolution on Russia's recognition by sponsor of terrorism was adopted by the US Senate, in the House of Representatives this issue is also considered.

About one and a half months, the State Department behaved in silence. Silence was interrupted by President Biden. He stated that Russia should not be recognized by the state - sponsor of terrorism. The arguments of the White House followed by the mouth of Karin-Jan Pierre to support the position of the US President.

But on Wednesday, August 14, American senators Richard Blumental (Democratic Party) and Lindsi Graham (Republican Party) presented another law on Russia's recognition by a sponsor of terrorism. Unlike the resolution's pre -adopted Senate, which was advisory, a fresh bill, in the case of its adoption, requires the administration of Baiden Presidential to recognize the Russian Federation by the state - sponsor of terrorism.

Thus, in the case of a decision of the Russian Federation, it will receive the appropriate status and join Cuba, North Korea, Iran and Syria. Later, the US Department of State Ned Price stated at a briefing that US Presidential Administration Joe Baidena was discussing Congress with the possibility of imposing such sanctions against Russia, which would be similar to its announcement by a sponsor of terrorism.

While in the United States there is a sharp one, but as for me, a rather productive discussion, I want to remind that we have already witnessed a radical change in the position of many countries. If, at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, some EU countries have taken a waiting position and were restrained on anti -Russian economic sanctions, and even more so about the supply of weapons, now they often play ahead. Germany responded very calmly to Russian gas blackmail.

If Russia does not produce gas, Germany will not stop its NPPs in the winter. This is despite the fact that for decades, the German energy strategy has provided a complete abandonment of nuclear power. Further, the German gas storage facilities are filled by 82%, and the German government allocated 60 billion euros of euros for households and entrepreneurs to smooth out gas rise.

But most of all, the President of the European Commission Ursula von Der Lyen was struck, who recently spoke in the State State of State of the Union and announced a strategy for counteracting Russian aggression and gas blackmail. She noted that Russia was unveiled not only against Ukraine, but also "against our energy, against our economy, against our values. " Ursula von der Liaien called Russia's behavior a war against the European future.

The President stressed that the EU will support small business, will change the rules of the game for the energy market. More precisely, it has declared a deep reform of the energy sector, which in the belief of the European Commission, ceased to be a market. Because of the increase in the cost of gas, electricity bills for European businesses have increased at times, sometimes ten times, and the European Commission plans to intervene in prices.

Also, in the European Commission, she said, there is an additional taxation of those energy companies that receive excess profits - and this will additionally raise 15 billion euros. I will not be surprised if such companies will have ultimate beneficiaries with Moscow or Peter registration in a strange coincidence.

So in this history of Anushka-Gasprom-Kreml-Putin for the completeness of their historical myth about Moscow as the third Rome and the primitive capital of their hybrid under-imperia, it was left to pour oil or oil on their heads, proclaiming himself by the king-Imperiator. But it is easier for this Russian economy to fly to the abyss.
