Some 10% of EU food exports -- worth €12 billion -- were delivered to Russia last year, making it Europe's second biggest customer.

In the long run that only hurts the Russian people

No it does not. Not at all. This guy had a plan, and that plan is to go outside the norms and develop new sources and friends to take up the slack. It's a done deal.

Last sentence of the OP.

Penalizing European or U.S. companies is "counterproductive" because they can serve as allies in a conflict that doesn't serve their interest, according to Glazyev.

Pretty sure they are talking about ExxonMobil here.

You are really clueless. You and your conspiracy self would fit right in modern day Russia.

This does hurt the Russian people b/c it raises the price of simple foods bc they cut off their main import. Since they really don't produce much of their own shite and they wont buy from their own back yard in the EU. They now have to look at South America and Africa. Well there is this little thing called logistics. The price of shipping goods from South America and Africa is higher than from the EU. Thus raising the price of the actual good the people need. The people are already poor depending on gov't pensions so yes it hurts the people.
