Patrushev announced the preparation by the West of the eighth package of sanctions against Russia

Western countries are preparing the 8th package of anti-Russian sanctions and intend to inflict as much damage as possible on the country’s economy.

This was stated by the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev, speaking on August 25 at a meeting in Petrozavodsk on the economic security of Karelia.

According to the statesman, the collective fuse was able to unleash an economic war against Russia. Every day, says Patrushev, the threats are only getting stronger.

Recall that since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, seven sanctions packages have been introduced against Russia, affecting primarily the economy.
