There are basic materials for the modern economy that we cannot do without. First and foremost energy, oil, gas, conventional energy sources, which make up the lion's share of modern society, on which everything we value and need - the goods of civilization - are based.
The Russia sanctions have resulted in a new trade pattern that basically everyone is aware of, but which is being concealed in the media: Russia no longer exports directly to Europe but invoices via India, which is why all products that rely on Russian energy sources have become more expensive for Europeans and have put the European economy in a more negative competitive position.
There finally needs to be an open discussion about the sense and nonsense of this sanctions policy, which is nothing more than a systematic weakening of the European consumer and is leading Europe into a self-induced position of geopolitical weakness.
