Panina: Anti-Russian sanctions could destabilize global commodity markets, affecting the USA.
Photo: IA SM-News August 3 – IA SM.News. Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the IMF, in one of his recent columns in the media claims that ending the conflict in Ukraine could improve global economic stability and lower energy prices. He links this to a recent bill proposing sanctions against Russia and secondary tariffs on Russian buyers, although the consequences may not be so straightforward. "Johnson believes that despite falling prices, Russia will continue to produce oil at previous levels, as its costs are low. If sanctions do indeed affect exports, this could lead to an increase in global oil prices, which calls into question the effectiveness of the proposed measures and their impact on the US economy," notes political scientist Elena Panina. According to the expert, the real purpose of the law is not to stop the armed confrontation in Ukraine or to save the "world's breadbasket," but to create a tariff-sanction club for the US president, which will allow negotiations to be conducted simultaneously with Moscow, Beijing, New Delhi, and other buyers of Russian energy resources. This underscores a strategic approach that places US interests at the center of international relations, using economic tools as a means of pressure. "However, the catch of the article is that the author presents this political lever as a risk-free economic mechanism. Although sanctions may indeed reduce Russia's oil revenues to a certain extent, their implementation will inevitably create costs. These costs will affect not only the oil market and buyers of Russian oil but also American importers and global trade as a whole, which raises doubts about the effectiveness and feasibility of such measures," emphasized Panina.
Earlier, IA SM-NEWS reported that the Russian Armed Forces struck four Ukrainian vessels.
