Natalia Dobrovolskaya. Punishment EU against Russia affect the Russian economy, the most in the financial sector, said the Russian Ambassador to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov.
The US and EU imposed sanctions against Russia, accusing it of interfering in the situation in Ukraine - Moscow these accusations fundamentally denies. Punishment has touched entire sectors of the Russian economy, including the defense industry, energy and Finance. In response Russia brought his punishment, limiting the import of agricultural products and food products from the EU and the USA, and other countries that participated in the introduction of sanctions against Russia.
" of course, punishment affect the Russian economy and, most importantly, in the financial sector, " said Chizhov in the broadcast channel Bloomberg TV, in response to a request leading to comment on the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy and the ruble.
" But the fall of the ruble, rather, the reduction of the ruble was partly offset by a decline in world oil prices. The cost per barrel of oil in rubles increased, so that the Russian budget has not suffered, " said he.
According to Chizhov, the state of the Russian economy is slightly better than the Eurozone "." Current figures indicate that the growth of the Russian economy this year, whatever it was modest, will be about 0, 5-0, 6% in growth in the next 3 years, " he said.
