Accordingly, the New York Times announced in a report the expansion of trade relations between countries close to America and Russia.

While Washington hoped to dissuade Russia from continuing the war in Ukraine with extensive economic sanctions. slow, but now the evidence shows that the countries close to America are not accompanying this country in this regard.

The New York Times reported on the expansion of crude oil imports from Russia by India and the Persian Gulf countries on a large scale. Also, the European Union either does not want or cannot comply with Western sanctions against Russia and has now increased trade relations with Moscow.

At the same time, European countries’ support for Ukraine has not seen growth either. This issue is rooted in the fact that European countries have not increased their weapons production.
