Kirill Dmitriyev, the Russian President's special envoy for investment and economic cooperation, stated that the European Union's sanctions against Russia and uncontrolled migration policies are driving the bloc to economic suicide.

Dmitriyev commented on a Financial Times report that European Union countries are increasingly reluctant to impose sanctions on Russia due to their impact on the business world.
It is hardly surprising that EU sanctions are unpopular in Europe; they are not working and are costing EU countries more than 3 billion euros. The EU's suicidal economic collapse is being dictated by sanctions against Russia and uncontrolled migration.
The Russian envoy made these remarks on his account on the X social media platform.
Russia has repeatedly stressed that it can cope with the sanctions pressure that the West initiated several years ago and has been steadily increasing. Moscow has stated that the West lacks the courage to admit the failure of sanctions against Russia. In Western countries, views that anti-Russian sanctions are ineffective have also been frequently voiced.
