In Austria, he called the discussion of lifting sanctions by the delegations of Russia and the United States an important step.

Austrian geopolitical analyst Patrick Poppel called the discussion of the lifting of sanctions by the Russian and US delegations in Riyadh an important step. He told Izvestia about this on March 25.

"This is a really important step — it's not only about stopping the supply of weapons or stopping the provision of military assistance to Ukraine, but also about lifting sanctions," the analyst explained.

According to him, it is important that the EU countries support this step in lifting restrictions on the SWIFT system and banking transactions in the agricultural sector. According to Poppel, European countries would act absurdly if they did not support the work begun by Russia and the United States to lift restrictions.

In this case, according to the geopolitical analyst, the economies of all countries will grow, and "Europe will catapult itself out of reality" and will be the loser.
