Biden Announces New Sanctions To Raise 'Economic Cost' of Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

[faldinugraha]

I believe that all sanctions imposed on Russia will not change anything against the war. instead of you shouting constantly to give sanctions to the russians, you better be a good peacemaker. Be wise as a parent.

[moedark]

I'm so tired of the fact that we only get involved when oil is involved. If Ukraine was a third world country in Africa being massacred it wouldn't even be a Biden footnote .

[ampamp]

Nothing can be concluded by looking into pictures. This big mouth of a puppet leader is totally not fit to be in a responsible role.

[freerange]

Joe Biden is wearing his Frank Nitti suit.

[Cha-y]

Thank you Mr President for ending the longest war in American history in a cowardly disgraceful way and then starting WW3 five Months later. .

[MrPockets]

We all want peace and love and livability

If the banks are locked down, does that mean they can use crypto?

Impact of sanctions on the Russian economy:

1. Russian economy growth for the first quarter of this year amounted to 3.7%. At the same time, if we take industry separately, it grew by 5.9% over the quarter, and in March, compared to February, the growth in industry amounted to 9.9%.

2. Unemployment remains at a historically low level and is not going to rise - 4.1%

3. Suddenly, RF budget revenues increased by a third (30.4%), which caused a budget surplus of 2, 417 billion rubles, which is 3.6 times more than last year's surplus. And that's for the quarter.

4. Inflation has been declining for several weeks in a row. Gasoline prices began to decline in March and continued into April. Inflation is declining because Russia has stopped its imports, today prices are slowly untied from world prices.

The impact of sanctions on the economy of Germany and the EU:

1. The volume of imports from Russia to Germany, expressed in financial terms, rose to historical records. And we are not talking about energy supplies, but about other types of goods. This is written by the German edition of Die Welt. The Federal Statistical Office of Germany reports that the turnover with the Russian Federation in March alone amounted to more than 3.6 billion euros (in 2014 it was 3.5 billion), which is 44% more than last year.

2. Europeans began to suffer from the closure of the Russian skies in response to the closure of the European skies for Russian companies. Because of this, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently had to fly to Japan via the North Pole, with refueling in Alaska. The total lengthening of the flight in one direction was an hour and a half. But this is for the chancellor, and for ordinary people, the delay compared to the normal route through Russia and China can be much longer. In addition, flying over the pole is more dangerous than flying over populated areas. There is nowhere to make an emergency landing and refuel, so the preparation of cars and pilots requires increased attention.

3. European Union airlines have been hit hard by sanctions against Russia. This is stated in the draft resolution of the European Parliament (EP). As noted in the draft, the aviation sector is faced with rising costs, rerouting and flight cancellations. The document states that the increase in the route for flying around the airspace of the Russian Federation and Belarus takes up to four hours one way, which leads to problems with refueling and an increase in the working day of the crew. The EP also drew attention to possible interruptions in the supply of titanium used in the construction of aircraft in the near future, the main producers of which are Russia and Ukraine.

4. Germany is experiencing an inflationary shock in the food retail sector. This is stated in an article in the German newspaper Handelsblatt. The publication recalled that food prices rose by more than 6 percent in March. At the same time, the cost of fresh vegetables increased by more than 14 percent, and vegetable oil - by 17 percent. The consumer climate in Germany is deteriorating. According to the GfK forecast, the consumer climate index will decrease by 26.5 points. This is the lowest value for all time of measurements. Company expert Robert Kechkes explained that consumer budgets have shrunk due to overall rising costs. The reason for this was the strong uncertainty of the Germans, he added. Earlier, the country's Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reported that annual inflation in April 2022 in Germany will accelerate to 7.4 percent, which is a record for many years.

5. Consumer prices in the euro area in April rose by 7.5 percent in annual terms, according to preliminary data from the Statistical Office of the European Union. This is an absolute record in the history of calculations. Inflation has accelerated, in March it was 7.4 percent. Inflation exceeds the target of the European Central Bank (set at two percent) by more than three times. This trend is associated primarily with the rise in energy prices, despite the fact that the growth rate slowed down to 38 percent (compared to 44.4 percent in March). The lowest inflation rates over the past 12 months were recorded in Malta (4.5 percent), France (5.1 percent) and Portugal (5.5 percent), the highest in Lithuania (15.6 percent), Estonia (14 .8 percent) and the Czech Republic (11.9 percent).

6. After the imposition of sanctions against the subsidiary of the Russian holding Novatek, Novatek Green Energy in Poland, the supply of blue fuel to dozens of municipalities was stopped. In Bulgaria, the cost of gas due to the cessation of supplies from the Russian Federation increased by 50%.

7. The euro crashed to the lows of early 2020, before the lockdown.

Impact of sanctions on the US economy:

1. The US economy contracted in the first quarter of 2022 by 1.4 percent year on year.

2. The US trade deficit in March amounted to $109.8 billion against 89.8 billion a month ago. The pace of deficit expansion is unprecedented.


The West poured all military surpluses onto Ukraine, and also took on the maintenance of the Ukrainian economy in the amount of 5-7 billion dollars a month.

Inside the countries that support anti-Russian measures, political problems are intensifying due to rising world prices.

Since the stock market istanbul share code (ENSRI) is less than 8.5 million shares in total, if heavy purchases and money inflows are high, this share will be very high.

[vashnamuthoni]

At what point does JB realize that sanctions can't work against Russia.

[larryvance]

We used to not take threats lightly I meant
