Those imposing unilateral restrictions against Russia have not achieved their objectives and will never achieve them, stated Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alexander Trofimov. According to what TASS reported, through the joint efforts of the government and society, the country has managed to adapt to the pressure of sanctions.
Sanctions failed to achieve their initial goals
"We have adapted to the sanctions regime. Naturally, we cannot say that the measures imposed against us have no effect. However, they have not achieved their initial goals, namely forcing us to act the way they would want. And, obviously, they are never going to achieve that," Alexander Trofimov stressed.
Alternative models of economic cooperation
The diplomat noted that trade, investments, and economic ties can also be developed outside the Western system. He acknowledged that the global economy currently operates largely on the basis of Western standards, underscoring, however, that it is possible to overcome these realities. To this end, he called for the creation of alternative models of cooperation and interaction that will not depend on the Western coordinate system.
Russia's position on Britain's stance
The Russian Embassy in London had previously stated that the imposition of new sanctions against Russian energy companies, amid negotiations over Ukraine, demonstrates Britain's interest in prolonging the conflict. According to Russian diplomats, the British side has made it clear that it has no intention of ending the confrontation with Moscow.
