If on the one hand the "mighty" West wanted to impose direct economic sanctions, at least in intent, to punish the Russian giant, on the other hand, and paradoxically, the sanctioner would seem to have ended up funding the coffers of the alleged sanctioned "rewarding him "(So it would seem) in fact. If we then consider the circumstance reconnected to the difficulty of reconverting energy flows and ensuring the supply of raw materials, then the picture appears in all its completeness to offer to the outside the image of a Europe harnessed which, in the illusion to save Ukraine in order to save itself, it could continue to supply Ukraine itself, or rather what remains of it, the armaments deemed necessary and, at the same time, to feed the Russian coffers.
"Sanctions against" it would be appropriate to observe: but against whom precisely? Without prejudice to the severe sentence for the aggressor, the answer is as always directly consequent and, unfortunately, all too clear with respect to its consequences which, on closer consideration, would seem to end up discontenting a population already overly tried as a result of the two-year pandemic. .
A question above all arises beyond and beyond any small (if you want to consider it as such) practical reflection. How can a sanction aimed at hitting a third State with respect to the Union maintain its "vis offensiva" if it has, after all, a unilateral character and does not seem to have even been decided by the United Nations Security Council within which, precisely Does Russia have full veto rights?
How did we come to believe that an entirely voluntary provision, such as "sanctions", and not at all imperative in the restricted terms of its application, could economically annihilate the Russian power which, in response, would seem to have seen its commercial traffic intensify with the rest of the world? At what high price must we pay for sharing the so-called “Atlantic” orientation in the discipline of Russia-Ukraine relations? The current economic sanctions have proved to be useful or at least sufficient to impose a decisive "stop" to a war that probably none of us has fully understood in terms of the triggering reasons?
