Western sanctions against Russia have adversely affected the global economy and will ultimately impact on people's livelihoods across the world, according to Neo Simutanyi, a political scientist in Zambia.
With Russia being a major exporter of essentials such as wheat and fuel, the disruption caused by sanctions imposed by the U.S. and Western countries mean these key commodities can no longer be exported to the international market, Simutanyi said.
"The sanctions have definitely produced a negative impact worldwide, because Russia cannot engage in trade, normal trade as before, their ships are not allowed to sail, their commodities cannot go to the markets. [It's clear] to see globally, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a seriously negative impact on the economies across the globe," he said. MS Television reports
