Sanctions Against Russia Are Crucial: What's Wrong With Pompeo's Peace Plan

Sanctions against Russia are extremely important: what's wrong with Pompeo's peace plan Petro Sineo

Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's peace plan hints that sanctions against Russia may be gradually lifted if it makes real concessions. In fact, sanctions should have been maintained until the very end.

The chief consultant of the National Institute for Strategic Studies Ivan Us told Channel about this, noting that in their peace plans, both former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Mike Pompeo hinted at a gradual possible lifting of sanctions against Russia. They should have been maintained for quite a long time, since they are the ones that affect Russia.

Why sanctions against Russia are important

As Us noted, Russian propagandists like to say that everything is fine in Russia. But just recently, the aggressor country raised the interest rate again from 16% to 18%.

They have already raised the interest rate for the sixth time in recent times. This is very bad news for Russian markets. Why are they doing this? Because there are sanctions. Whatever they may be, they force the Russian economy to react to these sanctions. Russia does not have 100% control over the situation, – said Us.

It would be great if Pompeo's plan for a $500 billion lend-lease to Ukraine could be implemented. Along with the strengthening of sanctions, Russia would get even more problems.
