The diamond "burst" of Moscow. As Russia unexpectedly came across sanctions in Angola

For those who doubt that anti -Russian sanctions work, journalist Anton Shvets offers a story about diamonds in Angol. In this African country, a company with the Russian Federation unexpectedly faced itself with the fact that it does not want to have a sanction, yeah. Angola reported to the Russian Diamond Company "Alros", which does not want to see the Russians in the joint production of diamonds at the coat field.

This happened because of sanctions on the Russian diamond industry and specifically on "Alros", because banks refuse to work with the anraft because of the presence in the extraction of Russians. The Angolians ask Alros withdrawing from a joint production enterprise, at least until the sanctions are removed. In response, the Russians require compensation. As always the Russians, huge. Angola, of course, does not want to pay, because the situation in the economy of Angola is very difficult.

Angola proposes to the Russians at least for a while. But the problem is that Angola's exports are not only diamonds, but also oil. And the largest buyer of Angol oil is the United States. In addition, the United States is involved in the re -equipment of Angola army. The US wants to throw not so much Russians from Angola from Angola (almost half of Angola's debt is Chinese, and this does not include business debts).

Accordingly, the Russians take into account that pause can only be a good name to stop cooperation at all. The United States is important to Angola not only because of the difficult economic situation, but also because of the political situation, because the opposition of the norms cringes Angolsk power. And meetings with Biden for Angol authorities are very important. Interestingly, how it will break "Alros". "Wagner" is no longer.
