“No more shopping in Milan, no more parties in Saint Tropez, no more diamonds in Antwerp. This is the first step, ”such a post was posted in his Twitter Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
Earlier, we recall, the European Union promised that new sanctions against the Russian Federation would cause “pain” to the Russians. The EU will blacklist politicians and officials, ban trading in Russian government bonds, and impose restrictions on imports and exports with “separatist organizations,” according to Thomas Byrne, head of state for European affairs.
“We have to make sure that Russia feels the pain … So that it has absolutely no incentive to go further,” Byrne said.
According to RBC, which also refers to Reuters, 351 State Duma deputies and 27 individuals and legal entities will fall under new sanctions due to the recognition of the LDNR. At the same time, the sanctions will not affect Russian President Vladimir Putin. Borrell also clarified that the new package of sanctions is only part of the EU’s reaction to the recognition of the LDNR.
