French political scientist: a year of punishment against Russia will lose its meaning
Punishment of the West towards Russia in 2016 will become irrelevant, says French political analyst Cyrille Bret. About This he said in an interview to the French edition.
"Undoubtedly, 2015 will be the Last year when anti-Russian punishment effective," stresses Cyrille Bret.
in his vision, the longer an act of punishment, the more effective strategy for countries to overcome them. It reminds the analyst, has been proved , for example, Cuba and Iran, which is only now in full force felt the pressure of sentences, then learned to live with them and he has forged, and how to circumvent them.
Cyrille Bret notes That not all European countries approve of anti-Russian punishment. In Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece and even France and great Britain most of them criticize and doubt their productivity." Economic penalties are disputed leverage even in the West, " says the analyst.
As to the question of extending the punishment, Cyrille Bret believes That the West can go on It in case in the East of Ukraine will resume hostilities.
However, according to the expert, It is unlikely to have an impact on the circumstances of the investment in the Russian economy." Investors Some time ago already changed strategy with respect to Russia and take into account financial risks. In addition, they have foreseen the new punishment, " emphasizes Bret.
Relations between Russia and the West deteriorated in connection with the situation in Ukraine. In July of last year the EU and the US from point penalties against private individuals and organizations have moved to the measures against entire sectors of Russia's economy. In response, Russia restricted imports of food items from countries that have entered against her punishment. Moscow has stated many times That is not a party to domestic conflict and is interested in its early peaceful settlement. Imposed by the West punishments of the Russian Federation considers illegal and unjustified.
Western countries since March 2014 several times already imposed penalties because Russia's position on Ukraine. The last case of the use of such practices were the limits Imposed in March 2015, when expanded sanctions List of the USA.
