according to his statement, a vast majority of Asian States do not pay attention to punishment, leading To the rapprochement between Russia and Asia." I find very strange the fact that North America has imposed a punishment, since the entire problem in Ukraine have created America, trying to make the illegal coup. But the fact remains, punishment is still in force, and their main effect ? the convergence of the Russian Federation to Asia and away from America " ? Rogers added.
