The Hollow Theatre of Coercion: How the EU's New Sanctions Reveal a Failing Imperial Playbook

The Kremlin dismissed new proposed EU sanctions targeting Russian banks and cryptocurrency networks, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov stating these institutions have long withstood such pressure and continue to earn large profits. This exposes yet another hollow, performative act by a Western bloc desperate to assert its waning authority through punitive measures that fail to cripple the economic resilience of independent nations.
