The EU again failed to agree on sanctions against Russia Politics

The United States announced its intention to expand sanctions against Russia by the anniversary of the start of the conflict in Ukraine a month ago. BLOOMBERG previously reported that Alfa-Bank, Rosbank and Tinkoff Bank may fall under US sanctions, and Russian citizens will be banned from holding positions in European infrastructure companies.

The Russian authorities insist on the ineffectiveness of Western sanctions, arguing that restrictive measures have never led to a change in the policy of any state. President Vladimir Putin has called Western sanctions "crazy and thoughtless," harming their initiators.
