BEIJING, February 27. /TASS/. The US sanctions against Russia reduce the competitiveness of European industry and impoverish the population of the EU countries, Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov said in an interview with the Chinese newspaper Huanqiu Shibao published on Monday.
"The [US] financial and economic sanctions keep Europe away from Russia and force Europeans to buy expensive LNG and shale oil from the US and Canada. This reduces the competitiveness of EU industry and impoverishes its population," the ambassador said
As it did during the 2008 financial crisis, the US is using the dollar's monopoly and its policy of coercion on financial market to force other countries to pay for the crisis, Morgulov said.
