Russia is trying to circumvent the sanctions that Western countries have imposed on it. China, India and Turkey help her in this.
This is the opinion of Channel 24political scientist Maxim Yali said. Iran also helps Russia to circumvent sanctions, in particular, by supplying spare parts for cars to the aggressor country.
How Turkey helps Russia
Yali said: there is serious suspicions that Turkey is helping Russia to buy European goods. In addition, it increases purchases of Russian oil.
Turkey also wants to become an intermediary and make money on Russian gas, reselling it to the European Union at astronomical prices, buying it in Russia at prices perhaps 10 times lower. – noted the political scientist-international affairs.
However, according to him, Washington has already issued a warning to Turkish companies that if they continue to do so, sanctions will be imposed against them.
Help from India and China
An international political scientist noted that the US is also trying to convince India and China not to help Russia. Unfortunately for us so far to no avail.
“India and China have the opportunity to fill their reserves. And this is tens of billions of dollars of income. No one wants to give them up just like that. Moreover, in particular, India believes that this conflict does not concern her,” Yali emphasized.
What is the benefit for China
According to the international political scientist, China has the greatest benefit from the fact that Russia is at war with Ukraine. Both in the short term and in the long term.
Regarding the short-term Yali noted cheap oil, gas received by China. And also the fact that he has the opportunity to increase his exports. In particular, electronics and automobiles.
As far as the long term, China has even more to gain. He is interested in keeping the war going as long as possible.
The more Ukraine destroys Russian troops, the more we weaken Russia's military potential, the easier it will be for China to annex certain Russian territories that Russia conquered in previous centuries. he emphasized.
Yali added that China, as the most ancient empire, thinks for centuries to come. Therefore, it plans to return its historical territories, such as Siberia. There are even versions that China was pushing Putin to start this senseless, from the point of view of Russia's national interests, war.
Sanctions on Russian oil
The international political scientist also said that the European Union had already imposed an embargo on the supply of Russian oil. However, there is a grace period until the end of the year. And it does not apply to such countries as Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, which are very dependent on Russian oil.
“And France, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland have now taken a” window “for the purchase of oil until the end of the year. Of course , already when the year is over, it will be a serious blow to Russia. The sanctions that already exist will catch up with it,” Yali summed up. /strong>
