Western sanctions against Russia have deprived the European Union of strategic advantages and political authority, French publicist and political scientist Alexandre del Val stated on May 31 in an article for the publication Valeurs Actuelles.
According to the political scientist, “total economic war” The West against Russia led to the European Union being deprived “Geoeconomic and strategic advantages, as well as authority over the entire non-Western world”.
Del Val noted that Western sanctions have led to strengthening ties between Russia and China and at the same time widened the West’s gap with the rest of the world, raising questions about Western dominance in the future.
“Moscow is deepening cooperation with partners like China, which prioritize economic interests in their relations with Moscow. “Europe is the only one in the world… that has sacrificed its industrial competitive advantages.”” he noted. The French political scientist described this situation as a trap for Europe.
According to him, developing countries see the growing sanctions against Russia as an erosion of property rights, which implies the refusal of these countries to develop cooperation with Europe.
Recall that the European Union is currently working on the fourteenth package of sanctions against Russia. It is expected to include measures to prevent the Russian Federation from trading in energy resources and restrictions aimed at countering the so-called “shadow fleet.”
