According to him, otherwise Russia would not turn to Iran on drones and did not try to buy artillery shells in North Korea. After all, economic restrictions and export control measures against the Russian Federation do not allow it to produce new weapons, including rockets and high -precision ammunition. "So, we know that sanctions have their effect. They influence Putin's ability to wage war," Kirby said.
Kirby noted that if the economy of the Russian Federation has not been completely destroyed in the last year, it still suffered significantly. According to Kirby, this forced the Kremlin leadership to excessive financial costs, in particular to strengthen the ruble, but such radical measures cannot take a long time. "Putin will have to take into account the economic consequences that sanctions and export control lead to," Kirby is convinced.
He added that the restoration of the Russian Federation will take some time, but cracks in the economy are already noticeable. On Friday, May 12, the deputy chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev supported the idea of Iran to create an international club from the states for which sanctions were imposed. Today, on May 15, The New York Times wrote that despite the sanctions of the United States and other more than 40 countries, Russia continues to buy spare parts for its aircraft.
