Reached a historical maximum: Poland has increased trade with the Russian Federation at the end of 2023 (infographic)

Europe has increased exports to Belarus and some Asia countries 5-10 times. After that, the goods are freely bypassing sanctions and falling into the Russian Federation. Companies from Poland continue to trade with the Russian Federation despite the sanctions. Companies from the European Union to bypass the restrictions imposed through the invasion of Russia into Ukraine are used by intermediary countries.

The International Finance (IIF), Robin Brooks, showed an infographic that clearly shows the pace of cooperation with the aggressor, economist and export of the Institute of International Finance (Twitter). Brooks has created an infographic based on the export of goods to Belarus from Poland, whose carriers are now blocking Ukrainian trucks. In December 2023, trade volumes reached a "historic maximum" - $ 325 million.

The author of the post emphasizes that the goods from Poland actually go not to Belarus, but in the Russian Federation. Then some become part of the rockets that the Kremlin beats in Ukraine: this cannot interfere with the EU. "You do not need to be a rocket scientist to know that these things are going to Russia. 2 years of war in Ukraine. 2 years of senseless death and unspeakable suffering among those who have survived.

And is the best that the EU can do?" In the image published on December 24, Brooks compared exports from Belarus to the Russian Federation and the country of Asia and critically commented on the attempts of Europeans to "punish" the President of the Russian Federation. The schedule shows that in 2023 the import of goods into Russia increased 2. 5 times. "The best opponent than the EU, Putin could not want to . . . " EU export data to different countries of the world has posted on another schedule.

Seven lines show monthly exports to Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia), as well as in Belarus. You can see that there was a sharp jump in 2023. For example, EU exports to Kazakhstan have doubled. Similar growth - in Azerbaijan. Growth in Kyrgyzstan - almost 10 times. Brooks explained that the total lunar export of the EU in seven countries has increased by $ 1. 3 billion. (as of October 2023). "When you summarize it, it is not a lot.

It has exported from the EU by $ 1. 3 billion a month compared to the period before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The EU is simply watching," the post stated. It should be noted that since the first weeks of Ukraine's invasion, the European Union, as well as the United States, the United Kingdom and a number of partner countries have begun to impose sanctions on the Russian Federation.

Among the restrictions on which the Russian economy was to be affected - oil and gas trade, disconnecting the system of international payments, banning the supply of military and dual -purpose products. At the same time, Ukraine states that the Russian Federation continues to bypass sanctions - it buys components abroad and uses them to create weapons. The NAPC keeps records of such components: they were calculated about 3,000.
