Moscow: West Does Not Care About Global Consequences of Anti-Russian Sanctions
06:24 GMT 06.04.2022 (Updated: 06:33 GMT 06.04.2022) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The West does not care about the global socio-economic consequences of anti-Russian sanctions, Alexander Shchetinin, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Department of Latin America (DLA), said in an interview with Sputnik.
"We understand that Latin Americans are under powerful pressure from the 'collective West', which uses for this its entire arsenal of means and political influence, economic promises, and blackmail. At the same time, it frankly does not care about the global socio-economic consequences of the sanctions imposed against Russia, in particular in the energy, financial, and food sectors", the diplomat said.
Western countries have imposed multiple sanctions in response to Russia's special military operation in Ukraine. A number of companies announced their withdrawal from the Russian market and the closure of production facilities in the country.
