commented on the statement of the official representative of the European Commission, Peter Stano. According to Elena Panina, an EU representative forgot to mention that sanctions also do not “undermine” Russia’s ability to help Italy left high and dry by its neighbors and European Union partners.
“It looks like European officials are not aware that during a pandemic and the global economic crisis, any sanctions look like an absolute anachronism and often harm not only those against whom they are directed but also those who introduce them,” stated the parliamentarian.
