The European Union is preparing the eighth round of sanctions against Russia as Moscow escalated its war in Ukraine by holding illegal referendums in four Ukrainian regions.

EIGTH round of sanctions eh?
So how'd the first seven sanctions do?
Oh wait, most European countries are suffering super high inflation, super high energy bills, super high food bills, and negative GDP growth.

Hard Winter coming for the Russian economy and Government finances.

The Russians will be very warm with all the heating they need, at very low prices, and plenty of food, even as most of western Europe freeze from high energy bills, and insufficient energy supplies.

The ego levels of neo-liberals in EU knows no bounds. I hope the Germans have saved warm military clothing from incursion into Russia during WW-II.
