"The Russians are making more money than before: sanctions have never worked and will never work"
“Sanctions are the stuff of losers. Do not work". Who says it, Matteo Salvini? No: this is Steve Hanke, an esteemed economist at Johns Hopkins University who, while specifying that he speaks in a personal capacity (as all those who have a public role and a social profile are required to do), does the math in Putin's pocket: " At the end of July, Moscow grossed $ 97 billion in oil and gas sales, earning $ 5.4 billion more than last year's average. Sanctions have never worked and will never work ”.
A very clear stance, destined to also influence the debate on the role of Italy, since February at the forefront in supporting Ukraine, but also strongly exposed in the energy field in the relationship with Russia.
