Thanks to the Russian payment system, restrictive measures did not have the planned effect.
The work of the payment system “Mir” prevented Western anti-Russian sanctions from achieving the desired effect.
Resalat (Iran) writes about this.
According to experts, the Russian Federation “fully armed ” met the disconnection from SWIFT.
Experts of the publication note that when introducing such sanctions, the West did not take into account the capabilities of the Russian Federation.
The consequences of the departure of Visa and MasterCard systems from Russia have softened the possibilities of an alternative payment system.
“This factor simply deprived many of the sanctions imposed against Russia of meaning ”, – the authors of the material have no doubt.
The authors of the publication also support the Kremlin’s decision to convert payments for the supply of natural gas to unfriendly countries into rubles.
As a result, the West found itself hostage to its own sanctions, as it was forced to circumvent its own restrictions.
Moreover, Europe simply turned out to have nothing to replace Russian gas with.
Earlier, topNews wrote that the West could lift sanctions against businessmen from Russia.
Such an opportunity is being considered in exchange for financial support from Ukraine.
