Kuleba told about the destruction of Russia`s economy: sanctions have affected millionaires, the middle class and the working people

What happened. Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told that sanctions against Russia worked because the aggressor country had two main pains  now: the failure of their military operation and the losses they suffered in Ukraine, and the impact of the sanctions.

Source. He told about this in the interview with Ukrainian Pravda.

Comments. Kuleba noted that these are the two main levers of the Ukrainian side, including in the negotiation process.
"According to the headlines, it seems that the sanctions primarily affected billionaires. In fact, they affected millionaires, the middle class, and the working people, "the minister said.

The Foreign Minister noted that Russia is cutting the budget and curtailing funding programs for its projects. There are specific analysts, figures that show this. Prices are rising, inflation is rising. That is, the processes of destruction of the Russian economy have begun.

"Of course, I get information from very different sources, including people who communicate with Russians. And I know that sanctions are an extremely big problem for Russians. They understand that not only they have personal problems – you can't go somewhere, you can't park your yacht where you want, "Kuleba said.

He added that Russia's economy is slowing down, so the Russians will do their best to lift these sanctions in any format, because they understand the long-term consequences.

"But there is still the biggest sanction that Russians have begun to feel in the world, from billionaires to ordinary tourists – it's contempt and hatred of Russians. They really suffer from it, "the minister said.
