The EU will soon discuss a new package of sanctions against Russia/Channel 24 collage
Sanctions pressure against Russia continues to intensify. Soon, the aggressor state may be stirred up by a new package of restrictions designed to continue to weaken it.

The new package of sanctions will be discussed in the near future
According to Yuzwiak, consultations with EU member states should start this week. During them, the strengthening of sanctions against Russia will be discussed.
But the journalist is not sure that they are talking about the seventh package. Rather, he is convinced that senior officials will discuss the loopholes that the previous one contained, and also complete the list of names that fall under the restrictions.
At the same time, the chapter Office of the President Andriy Yermak spoke about the fate of the seventh package of sanctions against Russia. He noted that they are currently working on the document. And it must continue to hit the economy of the aggressor country.
They may impose a gas embargo
The head of the Presidential Office stressed that Poland is in favor of including the gas embargo in the new package of sanctions against Russia. According to Andriy Yermak, our state has offered to take such a step. And there are a number of good reasons for this. But the most important thing is that the Kremlin will have nothing else to blackmail the West with.
The gas embargo is the strongest response to any Kremlin energy blackmail. The Western world must demonstrate that it will no longer depend on Russian energy resources, Yermak emphasized.

Concessions can have negative consequences

He stressed that if Russia managed to achieve concessions on the turbine sanctions issues, then what can be expected next?
The President stressed that such steps threaten not only our state, but the whole world.
strong> It is possible that representatives of EU member states will meet for this very purpose. During the consultations, they will discuss mechanisms to minimize sanctions circumvention.
