Sorry, not "as" at the end. "The circumstances the Russian people are enduring today, which are at least as serious".

Another way of doing it would be "which are as serious, if not more so".

The sense of this is clarified by the context. Yriguyen is addressing the Argentine Congress. He has just said that the Congress recently approved a humanitarian loan to Austria, which was spent on food and clothing. He now goes on to say that they should do the same thing for Russia, because circumstances there are at least as serious as in Austria (or as serious, if not more so).

Pardon me: Yrigoyen, not Yriguyen.
