Russia judges that the EU/USA agreement is “very hard” to European industry
Russian diplomacy chief Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that the agreement announced the day before between the United States and the EU, providing for 15% customs duties on imported European products, would bring a “very hard blow” to European industry.
“Such an approach will lead to a continuation of the deindustrialisation of Europe, to a movement of investments from Europe to the United States and, of course, it will be a very hard blow,” reacted Sergei Lavrov during a forum, near Moscow.
Happy Crimea Holidays
Kilometric traffic jams, an endless train trip or a playful crossing of “new territories” – modest name given to the regions conquered in Ukraine – all under the cagnard and the threat of Ukrainian strikes: nothing seems to begin the determination of the Russian tourist to go to the Crimean beaches of the Black Sea.
Despite the fighting that rages a stone’s throw from its beaches, air attacks and commandos operations of Ukrainian forces, the peninsula continues to attract millions of Russian tourists each summer. These holidays, which some proudly present as “patriotic”, nevertheless require a lot of patience, determination and a strange form of unconsciousness in the face of the reality of a war that we persist in not really seeing in Russia.
