> THE WAR BETWEEN UKRAINE AND RUSSIA HAS CAUSED ENORMOUS DAMAGE TO THE GLOBAL ECONOMY.
> FOR A LONG TIME, EVERYONE, PARTICULARLY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, TRIED TO CONCEAL ITS ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COSTS.
> BUT NOW, IT IS HAVING A MAJOR IMPACT ON POLITICAL GOVERNMENTS IN EUROPEAN CAPITALS AND ELSEWHERE.
> WITH THE CLOSURE OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, THIS IMPACT HAS BEEN MULTIPLIED, TAKING IT TO A MUCH MORE SERIOUS LEVEL.
