The consoles will be covered by: In the next sanction package they will be found Registration that will infect sales to Russia consoles such as PlayStation from Sony and Xbox from Microsoft – Kaja Kallas, a high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs, informed. The three largest console manufacturers, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo stopped selling their products to Russia in March 2022. Therefore, sanctions will be directed primarily at console sellers who trade with Russia, as well as those dealing with the sale of used equipment.
Drones controlled by consoles and processors from refrigerators: As Kaja Kallas explained, “Russia apparently uses consoles to operate drones.” The EU, however, added – tries to sanctions all the things that support Russia in the war with Ukraine. After the introduction of sanctions for parts into military and electronic equipment, Russia had to show creativity. Thus, semiconductors needed for rockets and drones are obtained from old refrigerators and other household appliances, according to the findings of Western and Ukrainian intelligence.
This will also include sanctions: The next sanction package is also to cover chemicals, which Russia uses in the arms industry. Restrictions will also include liquefied natural gas (LNG), which after the introduction of sanctions for other fossil fuels from Russia, in 2024 the EU imported a lot of record. Sanctions will also apply to the import of Russian aluminum, which in the first 10 months of last year accounted for 6 percent. total import of this raw material in the EU (130,000 tons).
Sanctions were hung on the Italian: Complete cut off from Russian fuels is to take place in 2027. The extension of the sanctions has recently hung on the Italian when Hungary threatened that they would not vote for their extension during routine, repeated every six months of voting in this matter. Sanctions must be extended unanimously. Hungary withdrew from their position on Monday, when the EU issued a statement that she would continue talks with Ukraine about gas supplies to Europe. In the autumn of last year, Ukrainians detained deliveries with a gas pipeline, which Hungary was drawn by Russian gas, which caused the opposition of the country ruled by Viktor Orban and Slovakia.
Doubts about the sanctions: However, not only Hungarians have problems with sanctions. Some EU member states, Scandinavian and the Baltic Sea pool, press the limit of $ 60 for a barrel of oil from Russia, which was imposed by the G7 countries. Oil sold above this price does not allow the insurance of the tanker to carry it, nor can it be transported.
