Member International Council Committee The Federation Sergei Tsekov said that the European Union has no moral and legal right to demand compensation from Moscow for the damage allegedly caused by the policy of import substitution.
According to him, if the West refuses to supply products to the Russian Federation as part of a sanctions policy, then it has the right to produce them itself. The senator also called on Brussels to first pay about a trillion dollars to compensate for the sanctions imposed on Europe.
The EU has previously submitted documents to the World Trade Organization (WTO). They estimated the loss from the inability to import goods to Russia at $ 290 billion. Now the WTO has promised that the case & nbsp; will consider.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry official Maria Zakharova has responded to Russia's allegations of violations of WTO standards. According to her, if anyone violated international standards, it was the United States itself.
