5 | The West has hit Russia with the toughest sanctions yet, signaling that it is finally getting serious about Russia's continued support for separatists in eastern Ukraine. | Mbola namely mafy an'i Rosia tamin'ireo sazy faran'izay henjana ihany ny tandrefana, nilaza fa tena lasa zava-dehibe tokoa ankehitriny ny fitohizan'ny fanampian'i Rosia ireo mpisintaka any atsinanan'i Okraina. |
6 | Though the Obama administration unilaterally implemented a round of sanctions a day before the downing of Malaysian Flight 17, it was the aviation disaster that prodded the Europeans into tougher action. | Na dia nanapaka samirery ny hanome karazana sazy maro aza ny fiadidiana Obama, iray andro nialoha ny fanafihana ny sidina Malaysia 17, ilay loza an'habakabaka no tena nanosika ireo Eorôpeana handray fanapahan-kevitra mafimafy kokoa. |
7 | The new round of tougher sanctions targets individuals in government and business, banking, technology, engineering, and weapons, but they still fall short of hitting Russia where it really hurts: the gas industry. | Lasibatr' ireo karazana sazy vaovao mafimafy kokoa ny mpikambana ao amin'ny governemanta sy ireo orinasa, ny banky, ny teknolojia, ny injenieria, ny fitaovam-padiana, fa mbola lavitry ny kapoka tena mampangirifiry marina an'i Rosia: ny indostrian'ny entona. |
8 | This isn't surprising. | Tsy mahagaga izany. |
9 | EU countries are wholly dependent on Russia for a third of their gas; they are reluctant to inflict pain on themselves. | Miankina tanteraka amin'i Rosia ireo firenena Eorôpeana amin'ny iray ampahatelon'ny filàny entona; tsy marisika ny hampitondra faisana ny tenany ihany izy ireo. |
10 | EU sanctions do, however, affect Russia's future gas exploration by sanctioning technology for gas exploration and extraction. | Hisy fiantraikany amin'ny fitrandrahana entona ao Rosia ihany anefa any aoriana any ireo sazy avy amin'ny Vondrona Eorôpeana ireo , noho izy manasazy ny resaka teknolojia amin'ny fizahàna sy fitrandrahana ny entona. |
11 | Though sanctions are one of the only instruments the West can use to deter Russia, some experts contend that they are still relatively weak compared to those placed on, say, Iran, North Korea, and Syria. | Na dia ny sazy ihany aza no hany fitaovana afaka entin'ireo tandrefana mba hampiova hevitra an'i Rosia, manamafy ireo manampahaizana sasany fa mbola malefaka be ireo raha oharina amin'ireo nomena an'i, ohatra hoe, Iran, Korea Avaratra, ary Syria. |
12 | More, they argue, must be done. | Tokony atao mafimafy kokoa, hoy izy ireo. |
13 | The sanctions will likely do little to deter Vladimir Putin. | Mety mbola malefaka ireo sazy ireo ka tsy hampiova hevitra an'i Vladimir Poutine. |
14 | Some even claim that they will allow him to further consolidate his power, as he plays up Russia's need to decouple from the West and develop its national industry. | Ny sasany aza moa milaza fa vao mainka hanamafy ny fanjakany ireo, satria ataony izay rehetra afaka ataony, mba hialàny amin'ny tandrefana ary hampiroborobo ny indostrian'ny fireneny. |
15 | This is indeed the view of LJ user spydell, who writes that the sanctions are ultimately good for Russia because they will renationalize the elite, develop national industry, and force Russia to diversify its economy. Spydell concludes: | Toy izany indrindra no fijerin'i spydell mpampiasa LJ azy, izay manoratra fa tsara ho an'i Rosia ihany ny farany rehefa tena jerena ireo sazy ireo, satria hamerina ny fitiavan-tanindrazan'ireo sangany izany, hampiroborobo ny indostria nasionaly, ary hanery an'i Rosia hampivelatra ny fiharian-karenany. nofaranan'i Spydell hoe: |
16 | Sanctions are positive in all respects and are a powerful dose of stimulant for the economy. | Tsara amin'ny lafiny rehetra ireo sazy ireo, ary fatra matanjaka handrisika ny fampiroboroboana ny toe-karena. |
17 | In the short term, disturbances are possible, but in the long term a positive effect is clearly obvious. | Mety hisy fikorontanana eo amin'ny fohy ezaka, fa tsy maintsy hisy vokany tsara ireo eo amin'ny lafiny lavitra ezaka. |
18 | In some ways, in the last 4 months the U.S. and the EU have done more good for Russia than Russian officials have over the past few years. | Raha jerena amin'ny lafiny hafa, nanao zavatra tsara ho an'i Rosia i Etazonia sy ny Vondrona Eorôpeana tato anatin'ny 4 volana noho ny nataon'ireo mpiandraikitra Rosiana hatram'izay taona maro lasa izay. |
19 | Not everyone agrees. | Tsy ny rehetra no miray hevitra amin'izany. |
20 | Some on the RuNet think that the real harm will be inflicted upon the Russian public, not the elites in power. | Mieritreritra ny sasany ao amin'ny RuNet fa hiantraika amin'ireo vahoaka Rosiana ny tena fahavoazana fa tsy amin'ireo olona matanjaka eo amin'ny fitondrana akory. |
21 | The opposition leader Boris Nemtsov wrote on Facebook: | Nanoratra tao amin'ny Facebook toy izao i Boris Nemtsov, lehiben'ny mpanohitra : |
22 | Russian banks and companies' total debt is $650 billion. | 650 lavitrisa dolara ny fitambaran'ny trosan'ireo banky sy ireo orinasa Rosiana. |
23 | They need to pay $100 billion back this year. | Mila mamerina 100 lavitrisa dolara izy ireo amin'ity taona ity. |
24 | There's $470 billion in gold reserves. | Misy volamena fiandry mitentina 470 lavitrisa ao. |
25 | They will pay, but interest rates and inflation will rise, and the ruble will weaken. | Handoa izy ireo, fa hiakatra koa ny tahan'ny zanabola ary ny fidangan'ny vidim-piainana, ary hihen-danja ny vola rouble. |
26 | Salaries and pensions will be frozen and the standard of living will slowly but surely begin to fall. | Tsy hihetsika intsony ny karama sy ny volan'ny mpisotro ronono, ary tsy maintsy hidina na dia handeha tsikelikely aza ny fari-piainana. |
27 | The people who still applaud the “leader” will pay for this insane war. | Hizàka ny vokatr'ity ady maloto ity ireo vahoaka mbola manohy mitehaka ny “mpitondra” amin'izao. |
28 | Similarly, Alexey Navalny tweeted: | Toy izany koa, nandefa bitsika toy izao i Alexey Navalny: |
29 | The meaning of Obama's speech is “We will make their weak economy weaker.” | Toy izao ny dikan'ilay kabarin'i Obama “Ataontsika mihaosa ihany ny toekaren'ireo, izay efa mangozohozo.” |
30 | In short, Putin engages in nonsense and we will pay for it all. | Amin'ny farany, miditra amin'ny zavatra tsy azo ialàna i Poutine ary isika rehetra no hizaka ny vokatr'izany rehetra izany. |
31 | Some took the opportunity to joke. | Ny sasany mbola mahavita mananihany ihany . |
32 | @korobkov tweeted, referring to the Soviet megaprojects of the Yamal and Baikal-Amur railways, | Nibitsika i @korobkov, milaza ireo tetikasa goavan'ny Sovietika hanao lalàm-by mampitohy an'i Yamal sy i Baikal-Amur, |
33 | We will answer Barak Obama's sanctions with shock work in Yamal and BAM! | Valiantsika amin'ilay asa goavana be ao Yamal sy BAM ireo sazin'i Barak Obama! |
34 | The fact that Sberbank, one of Russia's largest banks, didn't make it to the sanctions list (although, as we know, Sberbank was included in the most recent round of sectoral sanctions, the most severe ones yet - GV) prompted Olga Romanova to comment on Facebook, | Nanosika an'i Olga Romanova haneho hevitra tao amin'ny Facebook, ny tsy naha-tao anaty lisitra ny Sberbank, iray amin'ireo banky lehibe indrindra ao Rosia (na dia fantantsika aza, fa tafiditra tao anatin'ireo karazana sazy maro faramparany ho an'io sehatra io ny Sberbank, ny tena enjana hatramin'izao - GV), |
35 | VTB, the Bank of Moscow, and the Russian Agricultural Bank are on the sanctions list. | Ao anatin'ny lisitry ny nahazo sazy ny VTB, Bankin'i Maosko, ary ny Bankin'ny tantsahan'i Rosia. |
36 | Sberbank isn't. | Sberbank anefa tsy ao. |
37 | I worry for German Gref [the head of Sberbank]. | Manahy ny amin'ny German Gref [ilay lehiben'ny Sberbank] aho. |
38 | Will they now proclaim him as a fifth column? | Ho ataon'ireo ho andry faha dimy ve izy? |
39 | Boris Nemtsov, however, took Sberbank's absence more seriously, and felt that it was a prudent action. | Boris Nemtsov, indray, nandray ho zavatra matotra kokoa ny antony tsy naha-tao an'i Sberbank , ary nahita fa fanapahan-kevitra niharo fahamalinana izao. |
40 | He explained on Facebook: | Nanazava tao amin'ny Facebook izy: |
41 | Why did the Americans impose sanctions on VTB and Russian Agricultural Bank and not against Sberbank? | Nahoana ny Amerikana no nametraka sazy tamin'ny VTB sy ny Bankin'ny tantsahan'i Rosia, fa tsy nanao izany tamin'ny Sberbank? |
42 | For two reasons: sanctions against Sberbank, where 70 percent of Russian depositors keep their savings, meant hitting the savings of millions of citizens. | Noho ny antony roa: midika famelezana ny harin-karen'ny olom-pirenena an-tapitrisany ny fanasaziana ny Sberbank, satria ao ny 70 isan-jaton'ireo Rosiana mpametra-bola no mametraka ny tahiriny. |
43 | Such sanctions would allow the Kremlin propagandists to blame everything on America and incite the people against the West through their wallets. | Manome vahana ireo mpanao fampielezan-kevitry ny Kremlin izany sazy izany, mba hanomezana tsiny an'i Amerika amin'ny zavatra ratsy mitranga rehetra ary handrisika ny vahoaka hanohitra ny tandrefana amin'ny alalan'ireo mpanjifany. |
44 | VTB and Rosselkhozbank have fewer depositors, and their heads are the chekist [Andrei] Kostin and son of a chekist, Dmitry Patrushev. | VTB sy Rosselkhozbank indray dia somary vitsy ny mpametra-bola ao, ary ny lehiben'ireo dia teratany Tcheik [Andrei] Kostin ary zanaka teratany Tcheik, Dmitry Patrushev. |
45 | These sanctions are painful for Putin and not fatal to citizens. | Mafy ho an'i Poutine ireo sazy ireo fa kosa tsy mamely loatra ny olom-pirenena. |
46 | In short, keep your money in a state savings bank! | Fehiny, tehirizo any amin'ny bankin'ny fanjakana ny volanao! |
47 | Nemtsov's view that the sanctions will be “painful to Putin” aside, judging from some of the responses, RuNet users don't appear hopeful that the West's sanctions will change anything. | Ny fijerin'i Nemtsov hoe “ho mafy amin'i Poutine” ireo sazy ireo, eo ankilany, raha jerena amin'ny valiny sasantsasany anefa, tsy manantena ireo mpampiasa RuNet fa hampiova n'inona na inona ireo sazin'ny tandrefana ireo. |
48 | Putin won't be swayed, and the Russian people will ultimately suffer. | Tsy ho azo ovàna hevitra mihintsy i Poutine, ary hijaly ny vahoaka Rosiana amin'ny farany. |
