Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[REGNUM] The United States and its allies, which have introduced a series of unprecedented restrictive measures against the Russian Federation, have driven themselves into a trap. This is written by the American edition of The Hill.
The author of the article notes that the sanctions were supposed to “destroy” the Russian economy, however, in reality, the restrictive measures entailed serious costs for those who introduced them.
"The West (the United States and its allies) has actually found itself in a trap," the journalist writes.
The material says that Russia, despite the reduction in exports, managed to increase revenues from the sale of gas and oil, as restrictive measures and a special operation in Ukraine raised world prices for raw materials and energy.
