“Western governments guided by short-sighted, inflated political ambitions and by Russophobia, deal a much harder blow to their own national interests, their own economies and the well-being of their own citizens. We see it above all by looking at the sharp rise of inflation in Europe which is close to 20% in some countries. It is obvious that... the continuation of the obsession with sanctions will inevitably lead to the most difficult consequences for the European Union, for its citizens. Russia is confidently managing in the face of external challenges.”

“The Brussels package of sanctions would ban oil shipments from Russia to Europe, with a rather short notice, in case of Hungary the end of next year. Hungary cannot support the measures in their current form. Hungary could only agree to these measures if crude oil imports from Russia via pipeline were exempted from the sanctions.”

“The sky-high fossil fuel prices and continued imports into Europe have provided the Kremlin with a major windfall and undermined the effect of economic sanctions.”

“All things considered, it's holding up better than initially expected. The Russian economy is still projected to fall into a recession later this year. But so far, it has managed to blunt the harshest economic consequences of the Western sanctions.”

“EU's proposed sixth round of sanctions on Russia notably makes no reference to Russian gas. Why? Because in a sense it's a bit like it is the elephant in the European living room - it is too big to be ignored but also so big that to do away with it straight away might have a catastrophic effect on economies across this continent.”

“You've kind of hit the ceiling - on both sides of the Atlantic - for what can be done easily and what can be done in short order. To move to a tougher round of sanctions, U.S. officials will need to provide some assurances to European countries that energy markets and supplies can be stabilized to avoid severe economic hardship. If Western Europe is plunged into a recession, that's going to drastically limit the amount of support - both moral and material - that they can provide to Ukraine.”

“I appreciate the strengthening of the 5th EU sanctions package: bans on Russian coal, vessels accessing EU ports, and road transport operators. But it will take a gas/oil embargo and de-SWIFTing of all Russian banks to stop Putin. Difficult times require difficult decisions.”

“It is absolutely clear that more and more transactions would be done through this system using national currencies, bypassing dollar, euro and other currencies. We will be ready to supply any goods which India wants to buy. I have no doubt that a way would be (found) to bypass the artificial impediments which illegal unilateral sanctions by the West create. This relates also to the area of military-technical cooperation.”

“The U.S. and Europe I do believe deserve a lot of credit for the solidarity and resolve they've shown on sanctions. The sanctions are clearly impacting Russia's economy dramatically. However, I think that we've stalled out a bit. There's a lot of room for escalation.”

“Frankly, there are not many options left for the President-elect, President Moon and even the U.S. but to turn to a hawkish stance. Since the North announced its intention to stick to its own nuclear development plan earlier this year, it did not hesitate in ending the moratorium, meaning the regime will likely pursue its goal of producing various nuclear weapons regardless of outside pressure. The only way that looks effective is joining other countries to impose stronger sanctions on North Korea, but this also relates to the North's relations with China.”

“We are communicating directly, privately to Beijing, that there will absolutely be consequences for large-scale sanctions, evasion efforts or support to Russia to backfill them. We will not allow that to go forward and allow there to be a lifeline to Russia from these economic sanctions from any country, anywhere in the world.”

“The Ukraine-Russia conflict will continue to dominate market sentiments and no signs of conflict resolution thus far may likely put a cap on risk sentiments into the new week. It should be clear by now that economic sanctions will not deter any aggression from the Russians, but will serve more as a punitive measure at the expense of implication on global economic growth. Elevated oil prices may pose a threat to firms' margins and consumer spending outlook.”

“So far, economic pressure against Russia appears to be highly effective, crimping Russian trade even in goods that haven't officially been placed under sanctions. The financial restrictions that have already been imposed have made transactions with Russia - even the purchase of oil - difficult; fears of future sanctions, plus the general sense that any Western institutions perceived as helping the Putin regime will face harsh treatment from regulators, have led to widespread self-sanctioning, cutting off even trade that is formally permitted.”

“Tariffs and retaliation and sanctions are the most effective when you can devise policies that have the maximum impact on the counter party whose attention you are seeking to get, and do the minimal damage to yourself. So far, sanctions have been structured to avoid harming Canadian business interests. If we are truly determined to stand with Ukraine, if the stakes in this fight are as high as I believe them to be, we have to be honest with ourselves, I have to be honest with Canadians, that there could be some collateral damage in Canada and that's something that the G7 finance ministers discussed very early this morning. I cannot announce those additional measures today. We are discussing them, we are working with our partners and allies. We have suggested many things, as have our allies. We believe that the most effective thing to do is to work together to announce measures together and we will continue to do that.”
