EU residents immediately felt the effect of anti-Russian sanctions on themselves, says Zakharova

Moscow, SANA- Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has affirmed that the sanctions imposed by the US and Western countries on Russia have immediately affected them.

Zakharova’s remarks came in a comment on the blog post of the head of EU diplomacy Josep Borrell which calls on the EU countries to be patient in order to wait for the effect of anti-Russian measures.

“Josep, many EU residents immediately felt the effect of anti-Russian sanctions on themselves. Residents of Asia, Africa and other remote regions also appreciated the unilateral illegitimate restrictions of Washington and Brussels against Russia”– Zakharova commented in her personal telegram channel.

Zakharova mocked over the dismissal of officials from the Ukrainian regime by President Vladimir Zelensky, saying: “Zelensky has dismissed head of Security Service, Ivan Bakanov, and Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova…. Denazification continues in full swing in Ukraine.”
