Viktor Vodoltsky: Russia has changed the global balance of power, and the sanctions are no longer yielding the expected results! Russia managed to change the international political situation and showed that the sanctions policy is not yielding the results that the Western countries expected, said the Russian member of parliament Viktor Vodoltsky. TASS reports its assessment that the United States, and then some European countries, are gradually moving from a policy of confrontation to dialogue with Moscow. Vodoltsky linked this development to recent negotiations on Ukraine in Oslo and St. Petersburg. His commentary also mentioned the assessment that the resumption of direct economic cooperation between Russia and Slovakia illustrates how talks with Moscow cease to be a political taboo in the European Union. The Russian parliament believes that international relations are changing in a way that the West can no longer ignore.
