The European Union has still not been able to adopt the 10th package of sanctions against Russia, which should have been approved by the anniversary of the full-scale intrusions. Here again, business interests intervened. And the EU must finally make a choice.
About itChannel 24said political expert, head of the Vezha Center for Public Analytics Valery Klochok. Previously, Hungary delayed the adoption of the 10th package of sanctions because it wanted to exclude several people from them.
This time, Poland believes thatthe new sanctions are too weak. Restrictions against rubber should be introduced there and “particularly harmful Russian propagandists” should be added.
Russian “tentacles” firmly hold the European economy
As Klochok noted, of course, the sanctions policy is producing results. However, when discussing the latest packages, different business interests regularly follow. Europe needs to make up its mind and finally get rid of Russian influence on the economy.
When I listen to the story of the adoption of 8-9-10 packages of sanctions … We need to take not one Orban, but rake them all in a bunch and say: “Be conscious. Or tomorrow you will realize that you will not be in politics in principle, because Russia will already be near you,” Klochok said.
According to him, some Europeans want to continue importing rubber from Russia. This is another billions of dollars of income. It is clear that Russia has long ago launched its “tentacles” into the European economy. And he tries to hold her tight.
I want to say: “Guys, as long as you are dependent on the Russians, you will not be able to do anything. And they will be able to do everything.” Are you short of gas, coal, oil? Do you have enough such examples? Klochok noted.
The process is still moving forward
Despite this, you should not sprinkle ashes on your head and look for “zrada”. The process of gradually limiting Russia's capabilities continues. The European Union has become a certain “hostage” of Russia's war against Ukraine. And he won't be able to get out of it.
They won't get out. They will make a decision. Bargain, but there will be decisions in our favor. The pressure on the EU is just insane. The consistent policy of Great Britain and the United States helps here,” Klochok emphasized.
The United States imposes new sanctions
- On February 24, the United States imposes new sanctions against Russia. We are talking about restrictions on 200 people and companies supporting aggression against Ukraine.
- It is known that this will include Russians and representatives of third countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. They helped the occupiers.
