The EU may introduce new restrictions against Russia/Collage 24
On July 18, the European Union may start discussing new punitive restrictions against Russia. First of all, it concerns the circumvention of previous sanctions.
Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak wrote about this. He noted that as early as June 18, the discussions may result in some new measures.
The EU will solve issues with circumvention of sanctions against Russia
The number one issue will be the solution of the problem with circumvention of anti-Russian sanctions. It is about how the aggressor state finds ways to avoid capital restrictions.
The Head of the President's Office stressed that the McFaul-Yermak group had already submitted its proposals to Western partners on new anti-Russian sanctions.
< h3>Germany will stop buying Russian coal from August 1
Earlier, Yermak said that from August 1, Germany will no longer buy Russian coal, and they plan to abandon Russian oil from December 31.
The aggressor states and Italy are on the way to abandoning energy resources. The Italians have reduced their dependence on Russian gas imports to 25% from about 40% at the beginning of the year. At the same time, Germany's dependence on Russian blue fuel is quite high: 35% of the total consumption.
Pay attention! Yermak noted that the issue of a gas embargo and increased oil restrictions should be considered in the seventh package sanctions. After all, this is a way to deprive Moscow of the opportunity to finance the war.
