WP pointed to the disappointment of the West due to the ineffectiveness of sanctions against Russia

Western countries have become disillusioned with the ineffectiveness of the sanctions imposed on Russia. This was reported on August 3 by The Washington Post (WP).

"The inability of Western sanctions to paralyze the Russian economy has become one of the most persistent disappointments," the publication notes.

WP added that the Russian economy continues to grow even under sanctions pressure. According to the author of the article, Moscow was able to withstand the pressure of sanctions thanks to the support of India and China.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced on July 30 that Russia had developed immunity to sanctions imposed by other states. He stressed that the Russian Federation and its economy have been under a large number of restrictions for a long time.

On July 15, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed that the country was coping with Western sanctions and was not afraid of new restrictions. According to him, European experts recognize that as a result, the damage from anti-Russian restrictions will primarily be suffered by "the author of this sanctions war."
