“From my point of view, sanctions are what the West initially sought in relations with Russia, regardless of Crimea. Sanctions were taken against us because of Magnitsky, some gays, the Olympics and God knows what. It’s just that thanks to Crimea they were systematized. The West reached the calculated height to which it was striving. Sanctions are a special regime of relations with Russia that the West wants,” Pinchuk said.
He believes that Russia must get used to living under sanctions.
“We will always live with sanctions. I somehow live under sanctions, I think the country will cope with this,” Pinchuk believes.
As PolitNavigator reported, Russia in response to sanctions reoriented contracts from Europe to Asia.
