The impact of European penalties on the Russian economy will be more than just the coming months, Kaya Kallas said.
The EU approved the 17th package of restrictions on sanctions against Russia. This was reported by the Supreme EU for Kai Callas foreign activities on Social Network X on Tuesday, May 20.
According to him, this package was directed against Moscow’s nearly 200 “Shadow Fleet” ships.
“The new steps are also concerned with hybrid threats and human rights. We are preparing more sanctions against Russia. The longer Russian wages in the war, the harder our response is,” Callas wrote.
Also today, in a briefing, Kai Callas has confirmed that Europe will increase the pressure on the Russian Federation to want its peace. As part of the meeting on Tuesday, a intelligence report will be considered “how well Russia’s economy feels.”
“We hear that they have reached the moment when they really need to rely on the supply chain. So the impact of the penalties will be more than just the coming months,” the EU leader of diplomacy assured.
According to Callas, it follows from a report of exploring the state of the Russian economy whose penalties are working.
“The Russians want us to think that penalties are not working, that they will hurt you more than us. This is not true,” he said.
And answering the question of whether he believes that US President Donald Trump is very surprising to Russia, Kallas recalled that, according to White House statements, if the Russian Federation did not agree with an unconditional cease, then there would be decisive actions.
“And this is what we want to see from all the parties that state that they will act accordingly. Of course, from the European side we have 27 countries that if Russia does not agree, we will continue to pressure. So we will continue it,” Callas summarized.
The day before, it was learned that the EU would offer financial ministers of G7 countries to reduce the current maximum Russian oil costs. According to media reports, we are talking about $ 50 per barrel. Now the ceiling of this price is $ 50.
