New York Times: America’s partners have increased trade relations with Russia – Mehr News Agency | RCO News Agency

According to the Mehr News Agency, quoted by the New York Times, the war in Ukraine started on February 24, 2022, due to the expansion of NATO to Russia’s borders. As we approach the third year of this war, the balance of power has shifted completely towards Russia and Ukraine has no hope of winning this conflict.

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

while that Washington hoped to dissuade Russia from continuing the war in Ukraine with extensive economic sanctions, but now the evidence shows that countries close to the United States do not support 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 is either unwilling or unable to comply with Western sanctions against Russia and has now increased trade relations with Moscow.

At the same time, the support of European countries to Ukraine has not seen growth. This problem is rooted in the fact that European countries have not increased their weapons production.
