Sanctions against Russia/Channel 24 Collage

Russia continues to blackmail Europe by raising energy prices. This is how the aggressor country wants to ease sanctions.

Hence, there are risks that sanctions against Russia will weaken. Ivan Uss, chief consultant of the Institute for Strategic Studies, told Channel 24 about this.

At the same time, according to him, when Russia signs something and violates its own obligations, as happened with the shelling of the Odessa port, Europe disappears another argument that “it is possible to negotiate with Russia”.

Those arguments exist in Europe too. And when there are theses about the easing of sanctions against Russia, then such events greatly suppress them. Uss explained.

Therefore, he believes that the Baltic countries, Poland, unlike France or the Netherlands, always clearly state that there can be no question of any indulgences. The fact is that they are well aware that they may become the next target of Russia.

“They understand that Ukraine is fighting not only for itself,” the expert said.

Therefore, the realization that these countries may be next will do everything to:

  • Ukraine did not lose;
  • for Ukraine to win;
  • to restore our country and help it.

Sanctions against Russia are weakening

  • The European Union has approved the 7th package of sanctions against Russia. One of the main bans is the restriction on the purchase, import and transfer of Russian gold and other jewelry.
  • Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky emphasized that the existing sanctions against Russia are not enough. The occupiers must pay a much higher price for a full-scale invasion. In particular, the EU should definitely impose sanctions against Russian gas.
  • Andreas Umland, a German analyst at the Stockholm Center for Eastern European Studies, told Channel 24 that sanctions against Russia are gradually weakening, because the West itself may suffer from further tough actions. For example, if they impose restrictions on Russian gas.
