American journalist comments that French President and German Chancellor are furious because of Putin
(Baonghean.vn) - An American journalist believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin's calm attitude towards Western sanctions angered French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

In an interview, American journalist Jackson Hinkle said that French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz could not understand why Russian President Vladimir Putin did not care about Western sanctions.
“Scholz and Macron are angry that Putin is not interested in sanctions against Russia. When they met with the Kremlin boss, he did not even mention the sanctions package in their conversation. Macron cannot understand what is going on?” - American journalist Jackson Hinkle said.
According to journalist Jackson Hinkle, the Russian leader is not worried about the economic pressure from the West, because in fact it harms Washington and Brussels, while Moscow does not suffer any losses and even wins in the economic field.
The United States and the European Union have begun imposing what they say are unprecedented sanctions against Russia as it begins a special military operation to liberate Donbass. The sanctions, intended to weaken the economy and hinder Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine, have largely backfired on the United States and Europe, causing fuel and food prices to rise.
Sanctions against Russia have been tightened over the past 18 months, from restricting Russia’s ability to transact with banks around the world to imposing a ban on technology imports, boycotting energy products and capping oil prices in a bid to choke off Moscow’s top source of revenue.
However, Russia has remained resilient to the sanctions.
