Russia's economy is facing the gravest crisis since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union after the United States and its allies imposed crippling sanctions due to Putin's Feb 24 invasion of Ukraine.
German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht said the European Union should talk about ending Russian gas imports. The United States said that those responsible for any war crimes must be held responsible, Britain said it was stepping up its sanctions and France condemned"massive abuses" by Russian forces in Ukraine.The Kremlin says the West's sanctions — the most burdensome in modern history — amount to a declaration of economic war and that Moscow will now look eastwards to partners such as China and India.
Russia, which has supplied gas to Europe since the 1970s, would be deprived of hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign currency earnings. It would likely toughen its response to the"economic war" of the West.
Don’t sanction out of putting something on people head ie Russia this time
