Measures of financial and economic pressure of Western countries have benefited Russia. As noted by the UN special rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on the rights and freedoms Idriss Jazairi, for the Russian Federation this has become an occasion to invest in their own production, and now it has both goods and jobs. With Europe, the situation is reversed. "The Secretary General of the European Federation of Agricultural Producers told me that they did not compensate for the losses from closing the Russian market. It is not fair that small farms in Europe must pay for political contradictions between the EU and Russia, "Jazairi said in a conversation with RIA Novosti,. In his opinion, the reason is that production is interconnected in the modern world. "You can not hit Russia so as not to hit yourself," the expert explained.. Now Europe, already economically weakened, has faced a new misfortune - US demands to conduct business in accordance with American laws.

"The United States is imposing even more economic sanctions against the European Union. Rather, it is not sanctions, and trade duties, but the essence of this does not change. And no one knows how to get out of the situation. Europe can not give up sanctions, because it will be a "loss of face", it can not sever relations with the United States either, "RIA FAN quotes Andrei Ivanov, director of the Center for Strategic Analysis of the Institute for Innovative Development. "Europe really was in a fool," - said the expert.
