OREANDA-NEWS  Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in her Telegram channel that sanctions and fakes remain the only export products that the current leadership of the European Union (EU) can ensure stable production growth.

"It is quite expected as part of the next, already the twentieth sanctions package [against Russia]," Zakharova said.

According to her, the EU's worsening socio-economic problems are caused, among other things, by "short-sighted and frankly Russophobic, sometimes stupid policies."

Earlier, Zakharova blamed the European Union and stressed that it undermines constructive efforts to find a solution to the crisis. In her opinion, the EU countries are "doing everything possible to keep the Kiev regime afloat."
