The Moscow Kremlin’Window of Opportunities’: Why US Sanctions Likely to Boost Russian Economy

Published on

Despite Washington’s persistent efforts to hurt Moscow, the new US law stipulating sanctions against Russia is likely to have an unexpected reverse effect, particularly stimulating the Russian economy, according to prominent political analyst Vladimir Lepekhin.

Last week, United States President Donald Trump signed into law a bill imposing new sanctions against Russia, Iran and North Korea. Most notably, the law presumes sanctions against Russia’s defense, intelligence, mining, shipping and railway industries and restricts dealings with Russian banks and energy companies.

The law also limits the US president’s ability to ease any sanctions on Moscow by requiring Congress’s approval to lift any restrictions.

The move punishes Moscow for its alleged meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, its alleged involvement in the situation in Ukraine, as well as its military activities in Syria. Russia has repeatedly denied the allegations.

“By imposing new sanctions, the US expects a positive effect for itself and a negative outcome for Russia. In fact, these measures may rather have a negative effect for Washington, including decreasing American global influence and uniting non-Western countries against the US,” Vladimir Lepekhin, a Russian political expert and director of the EEU Institute think tank, wrote in an op-ed for RIA Novosti.

The new economic sanctions against Russia presume restrictions concerning Western loans for Russian companies. They will affect Russian businesses one way or another. According to Lepekhin, Russian companies are likely to seek loans from non-Western banks. The measures will also stimulate the development of a sovereign and efficient financial system in Russia.

“If that’s the case the US will lose Russia as a promising banking services market while Russia is very likely to consolidate its financial sector in the coming years,” the article read.

According to Lepekhin, even if Russian companies face a tactical defeat, for example, losing gas contracts in the EU market, the sanctions may finally result in large-scale positive effects on Russia, including a stronger economy and real sovereignty.

“Last week, Washington established a new window of opportunities for Russia. Now, it is up to the Russian leadership to decide whether Moscow will take advantage of it or lose to Washington,” he pointed out.

The Russian economy continues to be heavily dependent on oil and gas prices, despite certain steps made recently to reverse the situation. However, according to Lepekhin, Washington is unlikely to repeat what happened 30 years ago due to a number of internal circumstances, primarily economic troubles and political rift.

“In the 1980s, the American economy was on the rise, but now there is a crisis in the US. In addition, the US establishment is lacking in solidarity as tensions are mounting between different influential groups, some of which are not interested in confronting, for example, Russia or China,” Lepekhin pointed out.

He reiterated that Russia should use this “window of opportunities” to strenghten the national economy and develop its “economic sovereignty without looking back at the West.”
