Whether it is possible to consider the precious stones of Russia “conflict”, the countries participating in the Kimberley Process discussed in June of this year, but the decision was blocked by Russia itself, Belarus, China and some other country.

The United States, Ukraine, EU countries and some other countries are demanding that diamonds mined in Russia be considered “blood” or “conflict” diamonds, since the proceeds from their sale are used to finance the war in Ukraine. The New York Times reported it.

“Proceeds from this production benefit the very state that is waging a deliberate, unprovoked and unjust war,” US State Department official George Kajati wrote in a May letter to the leader of the Kimberley Process , an international organization established to stem the flow. of conflict diamonds.

Whether it is possible to consider the precious stones of Russia “conflict”, the countries participating in the Kimberley Process discussed in June of this year, but the decision was blocked by Russia itself, Belarus, China and some other country.

The next meeting of the Kimberley Process is scheduled for November.

“Russian diamonds are involved in financing the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, which makes these diamonds not only conflict, but bloody,” said Volodymyr Tatarintsev, deputy director of the State Gemological Center of Ukraine.

Rough and polished diamonds of Russian origin are now reportedly under sanctions by individual countries. In particular, the Russian company Alrosa, which accounts for almost one-third of the rough diamond market, is under sanctions. But the US sanctions apply only to rough diamonds, and they rarely enter the US market in this form: most diamonds go to polishing centers in India, where Russian diamonds are made into diamonds of India.

It was previously reported that the new package of sanctions against Moscow was proposed to include a ban on issuing visas to Russian citizens in EU countries.
