“Even with the European sanctions regime, I don’t see any change since I arrived here in 2022. You can find almost anything in the shops,” he said.
The journalist noted that Russians have access not only to domestic media, but also to Western ones. This way, he said, they can obtain information from both sides. “What we read in Western media about Russia is completely opposite to what we see here,” he concluded.
Earlier, American journalist Tucker Carlson, who visited Moscow, was surprised by the huge selection of goods and low prices in one of the Moscow stores. The total cost of the goods he bought was about $104. In the United States, according to Carlson, he would pay at least $400 for a similar set of goods. The journalist claimed that the sanctions had no effect.
Let us recall that the EU has already introduced 14 packages of sanctions against Russia. However, in Europe and the United States this has led to an increase in the prices of electricity, fuel and food.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that the restrictive measures have dealt a severe blow to the entire global economy and that the main goal of the United States and its allies is to make life worse for millions of people.
The Kremlin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said earlier that the Kremlin has no doubt that Western sanctions will remain in place for a long time and is building its line based on this. At the same time, he noted that although the United States is the largest economy, it is not the only one.
