Some EU countries consider the sanctions too lenient, while others fear damaging their international relations.
The member states of the European Union on Wednesday, May 10, will hold the first discussion of new sanctions against Russia. However, the negotiations may take a long time, writes Reuters.
Some countries see the sanctions as too lenient, a diplomat said, while others fear damaging their international relations. As some diplomats have pointed out, the widely divergent views mean that an agreement is not expected anytime soon.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in Kyiv on May 9 that the new sanctions are aimed at stopping Russia’s circumvention of existing trade restrictions and were developed in close cooperation with the G7 countries.
“If we see goods leaving the EU for third countries and then entering Russia, we can propose to the member countries that they allow the export of these goods. This tool will be a last resort and will be used with caution,” he said.
According to von der Leyen, the EU will stop the transit to Russia of its main exports, including high-tech products and aircraft parts.
Diplomatic sources familiar with the proposal prepared by the European Commission said it would include blacklisting dozens of new companies, including those from China, Iran, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
The new sanctions also mean that oil tankers are not allowed to offload at sea or arrive at ports with their GPS trackers off.
It will be recalled that Ukraine expects the European Union to adopt the 11th package of sanctions against Russia, which will contain restrictions against its nuclear industry.
As you know, the 10th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation tightens the bans on the export of critical technologies and industrial products, such as electronics, specialized vehicles, engine parts , spare parts for trucks and jet engines, as well as goods for construction. sector, which can be sent to the Russian military, as well as other measures.
