A long time ago, Europe imposed sanctions against 6 Putin-friendly companies that “built” the Crimean Bridge. The irony is that sanctions were introduced only after construction was completed. Why?
Because Russian industry is not really capable of such grandiose projects, and the bridge was built by European contractors: Germans, Dutch, Austrians and Italians. Europe did not want to take a bite out of its own and waited until the cunningly drawn up contracts were completed.
This is about the struggle for justice, the morality of individual politicians and the morality of all human civilization. They all gave a damn about Russia, and about Ukraine, and about whose Crimea is; it would be nice to make some money.
Just an illustration of how markets are heavily influenced by politics.
