European economies, including Germany, are suffering, as the sanctions’ depressive impact aggravates the recessionary and deflationary forces that are already at work. By contrast, helping Ukraine to defend itself against Russian aggression would have a stimulative effect on Ukraine and Europe.
针对俄罗斯的制裁是必不可少的，但也不是没有副作用。欧洲经济体（包括德国）正在蒙受损失，因为制裁的抑制效应放大了已经起作用的衰退和通缩力量。相反，帮助面临俄罗斯入侵的乌克兰自卫能给乌克兰和欧洲带来刺激效应。
