  15. 6 apr. 2022 CCTV: In a recent report, the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China (RDCY) gave a full review of the means, features, impacts of and lessons from the US’ sanctions against Russia. It pointed out that increasing sanctions are not helpful to solve the issue, but have serious negative impacts on Europe and beyond, leading to global inflation, disruption to the supply chain and slower economic recovery. Do you have any comment? Zhao Lijian: Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the US has been increasing unilateral sanctions on Russia and coercing other countries to take side. This report you mentioned points out that in the past eight years from 2014 till now, a group pf countries, led by the United States, imposed 8,068 sanctions on Russia, which overtakes Iran as the most sanctioned country in the world. Since February 22 this year, 5,314 new sanctions have been slapped on Russia.  I also noted that Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary Mikhail Popov said, in a contrasting move to its pressuring of European countries to not buy Russian oil, the US increased crude oil supplies from Russia by 43 percent, or 100,000 barrels per day, over the past week and allowed its companies to import mineral fertilizers from Russia. The ongoing war and sanctions have incurred an influx of refugees, capital outflow and energy shortage in Europe, but enabled the US to have profited and made a fortune from that.  History and reality have made it clear that sanctions cannot guarantee peace and security, and will only lead to a lose-lose situation, further impacting the already languishing world economy and the existing global economic system. If the US is serious about easing the situation in Ukraine, it should stop adding fuel to the fire, stop imposing sanctions, stop coercive words and deeds and truly commit to promote peace talks.  Editor: Zhu Yan
