War of attrition: banning Russia from shipping oil by sea is one way to win it

May 30, 2022

Along with military aggression against Ukraine, Russia uses resources for economic struggle against the civilized world. But it is very easy to prevent it


The EU Summit is held on 30-31 May, at which the participants are expected to discuss the sixth sanctions package against Russia, specifically the energy and food security of European countries in the context of Russian aggression.

These are interconnected issues for the global community, as Russia uses resources to fight the civilized world by economic means. If one calls things for what they are, then this is a resource conflict or a war of attrition.
