OREANDA-NEWS German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbeck said in an interview with journalist Stefan Lambie that she was disappointed with the economic effect of sanctions against Russia.
"Actually, economic sanctions (against Russia) should have had an economic effect. But this is not happening," Spiegel quotes the minister as saying.
According to the politician, this happened because "the logic of democracies does not work in autocracies."
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that, despite pessimistic forecasts, in 2022 Russia became the fifth largest economy in the world, ahead of Germany.
It also became known that in August, the level of business activity in the industry and services sector of the eurozone fell to a minimum since November 2020 against the background of anti-Russian sanctions.
