| Ryuu96 said: Russia hits back at Western sanctions with export bans - BBC News Russia has banned exports of more than 200 types of foreign-made product until the end of 2022 in a bid to mitigate the impact of western sanctions. Exports of telecom, agricultural, electrical and technology equipment that were previously imported into Russia from abroad will be affected. Russia will also ban some timber exports to nations that have "committed unfriendly actions". Other items subject to the ban include cars, railway carriages, containers and turbines. |
So their response to sanctions imposing economic hardship on their people is to impose sanctions on other countries that cause even more economic harm to their own people. Why Putin doesn't realize that the West is just buying its time waiting for the people of Russia to revolt against the government is beyond me.
