The deputy of the Bundestag Markus Frontmaier told about the serious financial losses of the country due to anti-Russian sanctions. According to him, the restrictions hurt painfully in Germany, which monthly loses € 618 million. "According to the Institute of the World Economy in Kiel, the losses of our country due to sanctions account for 40% of all damage incurred by EU states. For what? To change the territorial status of the Crimean peninsula, which will never happen? "- quotes his newspaper" Izvestia ".
Fronmeier stressed that the German economy is more export oriented than import, so the losses due to anti-Russian sanctions are so huge. He is convinced of the need to lift restrictions, as they do not give proper results and only worsen the economic and political situation in Europe. In addition, they "completely contradict the national interests of Germany". It is noted that in the country because of harsh measures against Russia 42 thousand people have already lost their jobs, reports URA. EN.
