The United States has set a maximum goal of changing the Russian social system
Under the new US President Joe Biden, the sanctions regime against Russia will remain, but its correction is not excluded.
The director of the Institute of the USA and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Valery Garbuzov, stated this in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets, answering the question whether sanctions pressure on Russia will continue under the new US administration?
According to him, there is growing murmur in the EU due to US anti-Russian sanctions, which prevent work with Russian counterparties, and therefore many Europeans propose to concentrate more on personal restrictions in relation to those people who, according to the Americans, are considered guilty of a particular action .
“Although personal sanctions may affect the interests of certain entrepreneurs and influence the economy, they are unlikely to affect Russia’s foreign policy behavior. And this is the goal! To change Russia’s foreign policy behavior, and if possible, then the political system. This is a far-reaching maximum program that is not limited chronologically,” says Garbuzov.
According to him, “this is not about lifting sanctions, but about adjustments and an emphasis on more targeted measures.”
“The sanctions regime will remain in one form or another. This is a means of putting pressure on Russia, which does not achieve its final goal, but does achieve intermediate goals (in particular, slowing down the development of Russia, delaying the transformation of its economy), ”the expert believes.
As PolitNavigator reported, Germany is preparing for a trade war with the Americans.
