"Destroy Empires": The expert told how sanctions are gradually destroying Russia
In addition, new sanctions against companies and representatives of the aggressor country are adopted. Political scientist Oleg Lisny reported this in a comment to the Channel 24. These events are built into a sequential chain, which can lead to complete destruction of economic stability in Russia. Now Putin's supporters are gradually losing their material well -being.
According to Lisny, a week ago in the Belgorod region of Russia introduced restrictions on the sale of eggs, limiting the number to twenty pieces per person. While the Kremlin argues that "everything goes according to", from January 1, 2024 it is planned to import eggs from Turkey and Iran to compensate for the shortage. "I call such situations" black swans. Either cigarettes went up or have not imported vodka. We can replace any product here, "the political scientist said.
In addition, the fact that sanctions are gradually being implemented, which are constructed step by step, striking, in order to strike a final blow. Recently, the European Union has introduced a 12th package of sanctions against Russia since January 1, 2024. Within the framework of these measures, the ban on the transit of all goods used on the battlefield was expanded, Russian diamonds were banned, and 147 individuals and legal entities have undergone personal restrictions.
According to the expert, it is difficult to predict what actions the Russians will take in response to the deterioration of the economic situation and the imposition of new sanctions. Oleg Lisny believes that there is currently no mass motivation to counteract Putin. However, the fear of direct consequences and power without it can affect the lack of active actions by citizens. Political and social dynamics in the country may change, and in the future the situation may develop differently.
"They will be united near Putin, but for a long time. Such sanctions will knock confidence in the future. That is, it works in the future, "he explained. Recall that Russia wants to buy more than one billion chicken eggs abroad. Thus, the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) has reduced duties on import of eggs to Russia to restrain prices from January 1 to June 30, 2024. Earlier, Focus told how prices for the second year of the war changed in Ukraine. The fish went up and the eggs fell cheaper.
