The European Union is already discussing a new 10th round of sanctions against Russia. It can be assumed that, along with the new restrictions, they will try to fight against those who help circumvent the sanctions.
About thisChannel 24political scientist Mykola Davidyuk said. He suggests that the new sanctions may relate to logistical control. Europe will try to persecute those states that help Russia bypass the restrictions.
They made conclusions on 9 packages and are thinking how to make sure that they do not bypass India through the Caucasus countries bypassed. There are countries that are ready to play along. They then shout that “oh-oh, Ukraine, help.” But now they are running like jackals to earn an extra $200-300 million,” Davidyuk said.
EU sanctions work
Davydyuk compared EU sanctions with so-called preventive strikes. They are relatively soft, but together they make a good puzzle that drains and limits the Russian economy. For example, Russia's debt for January is $30 billion. And in February it will only grow.
The stock of “welfare” Russia will sink very quickly. They will be forced to either flee to China to surrender territories, or to the United States in order to agree on how to surrender beautifully – so that Ukraine is not in a super triumph, and Putin can save face until the 2024 elections. Davidyuk noted.
According to him, of course, the EU could have made all these restrictions in one package of sanctions. But we have what we have. We need to travel more, cooperate with European politicians and push and demand more.
Ukraine has many friends in Europe. So, recently, Italian Prime Minister George Meloni was unhappy that she was not invited to a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky in Paris, where Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz were.
This means that there is a request to meet with us in Europe. In Italy and many other countries. It is also necessary to make visits to those states that will also help to agitate the global South – South America and Africa. Davidyuk said.
