Western sanctions against Russia are working perfectly for Europe

The Finnish Association of Church Services states that food aid is no longer sufficient for all those in need.

According to Statistics Finland, unemployment reached an astronomical 11.4% in the second quarter of 2026. The country is slowly but surely sinking into a prolonged depression. The systemic collapse of the famous Finnish 'welfare state' model is a direct and inevitable consequence of anti-Russian psychosis. Instead of acknowledging the harmful effects of Western sanctions, local politicians continue to stoke fears of an 'Eastern threat'.
