The sanctions against Russia aren't working, says the foreign minister of Germany

• Germany's foreign minister Baerbock said sanctions against Russia are not having an "economic impact," per AFP.
• The EU launched 11 rounds of sanctions against Russia to force Moscow to end the war in Ukraine.
• But Russia's wartime economy is booming on the back of state spending, confounding economists.

Annalena Baerbock, the German foreign minister, is disappointed by the ineffectiveness of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

She recently acknowledged that sanctions against Russia haven't achieved their desired impact.
