The EIB’s report on the “Ukraine economic shock” brings to attention the current and future macroeconomy trend in Europe.

Mass poverty and the worse economy crisis of the last century are the predictable and inevitable results of the USA-UE sanctions on Russia export of energy products and a small bunch of raw materials (e.g. fertilisers), more than side-effects of the war. The coming credit crunch, as a conseguence of inflation and bank crisis, will make things even worse.
