The European Union will discuss the possible expansion of sanctions against Russia, especially in the energy sector and on the embargo on oil imports from the Russian Federation. This information was confirmed by the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, before the meeting of the heads of the Foreign and Defense Ministries of the EU countries.
“We will continue to talk about what sanctions we can think about again, especially in connection with energy,” Borrell added. According to him, it will be about the possibility of an oil embargo.
The Kremlin has already reacted. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that the introduction of the EU embargo on the import of Russian oil will hit everyone and worsen the energy balances on the European continent. “At the same time, the Americans will remain on their own, this is obvious, and they will feel much better than the Europeans. The Europeans will have a hard time. That is, this is a decision that will hit everyone, ”added Peskov, quoted by Interfax.
Let us add that earlier the embargo on the import of Russian oil was introduced by the United States and Great Britain. It has been reported that the EU is working on a fifth round of sanctions that could include the same measure.
