US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, while evaluating the European Union's sanctions policy regarding Russia, stated that this process, which continued up to the 19th package, was not effective.
The editorial office reports that Bessent emphasized that despite the European side imposing sanctions 19 times, it could not achieve its goal, and noted that this indicates the failure of the sanctions mechanism.
Reportedly, the European Union is currently working on preparing the 20th package of sanctions against Russia, and various assessments are being voiced regarding the impact of this process on political relations in the region.
