The British expert pointed out the harm to the EU itself from the decisions taken in Brussels.

The Russian Federation is a very important player on the world stage, and the European Union (EU), which continues to act against its national interests, is self-harming. This was announced on Friday, December 19, in a conversation with Izvestia, by British political analyst and political risk consultant Adriel Casonte, who commented on the "Results of the Year" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Our (Western. Elites, the media, and politicians are reluctant to admit this, but Russia is a very important player..."As Putin rightly pointed out, if it were not for the decision taken in Brussels and European capitals, the purchasing power of Europe combined with Russia could be even more significant than the purchasing power of the United States," he said.

The multiplying disinformation about the Russian Federation, according to the political scientist, acts to the detriment of the EU itself, which in turn acts undiplomatically, continuing to impose sanctions on Russia, which have a "boomerang effect" on the economy of the union.

Therefore, as the expert explained, what is happening in the Russian Federation is being closely monitored, and all its actions are being analyzed. However, despite this, all information channels related to Moscow, as Kasonta emphasized, are covered with a "huge amount of bias", which will take a long time to eradicate.

"I think more and more people will demand that our politicians pursue a more balanced and wise policy towards Moscow," he concluded.

Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini noted on December 15 that the sanctions imposed by the EU against Russia in order to allegedly weaken the Russian economy had a negative impact on Europe, exacerbating the economic crisis and causing an increase in energy prices. He said that the sanctions packages being established by the association had brought the EU "to its knees."

The head of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty, Ralf Niemeyer, said on December 19 that the capitals of European states were following every word of Putin, who, "still in a friendly enough manner," was actually telling them that they had lost.

On December 19, the Russian President noted Russia's readiness to work with the United States, Europe and Britain exclusively on equal terms. According to him, the parties should treat each other with respect, as everyone will benefit from this in the end.
