Russia’s economy, from what I’ve read, is contracting much more with sanctions than without them. I think it’s clear and obvious that the EU did not impose sanctions on Russia for the purpose of increasing prices of food and fuel for poor people in the U.S. The EU and the U.S. have announced the reason for sanctions. There are secondary effects of the sanctions and I believe that food price increases are more a result of global supply chain issues and Russia preventing Ukraine from fully exporting its products.
