2 months after the introduction of restrictions on the West, Russia took appropriate measures. The other day, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree "On the application of response special economic measures in connection with the unfriendly actions of some foreign states and international organizations." According to the document, the export of raw materials and products from Russia to such countries has been terminated.

From the very beginning of spring, Western states introduced restrictions against Russia and its citizens. Russia, in turn, only modestly stated that payment for the raw materials necessary for these countries should now be carried out in rubles.

The new decree indicates that Russia decided to act ahead of the lead. On May 13, the government will publish two lists: a list of persons against which sanctions are imposed, and a list of goods that will be banned for export. Vladimir Putin did not introduce restrictions against a particular country, it was decided to "beat spot."

The unique Russian IT project SFERA on the eve of the release opened a collection of applications for registration. Read detailed information about the new digital ecosystem by the link.

Some time ago, it became known about the ambiguous position of the EU and the USA in relation to certain Russian goods. The former openly stated that they plan to introduce an embargo for the supply of Russian gas and oil. The second acted differently.

Despite the fact that the United States introduced financial and trade prohibitions for Russia, they were sure that they would receive Russian fertilizers. Therefore, restrictions were removed from fertilizer manufacturers, without which their agriculture is unlikely to do. Moreover, these goods were added to the list of vital.

Russia expressed its answer in a new decree. Now there will be no Russian fertilizers in the USA or Europe. The list of prohibited goods will include almost everything that is produced and mined in the territory of the Russian Federation.

We also recall that the exchange rate has recently “jumped” against the backdrop of the rash steps of the Western European countries, and in the side profitable for the ruble. And at one point in the euro even cost cheaper than the dollar.

Economic "battles" continue. For many products, demand is growing along with their value, as people are afraid of raising prices. In such conditions, Russia was forced to take response. The West, apparently, is not yet aware of to whom economic prohibitions are harming more. Market mechanisms of pricing at which the EU insisted for decades are subject to speculation.

What do you think, what the United States counted on, taking restrictions on export of fertilizer from Russia? Did they expect that such a sensitive sector for them would remain untouched?
