The new package of EU sanctions against Russia will have the same effect as the previous eighteen. This was stated in the social network by journalist Chey Bose.
So he commented on the speech of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in which she presented the nineteenth package of anti-Russian sanctions.
"The EU proposes the introduction of a new, nineteenth package of sanctions against Russia. Well, he must be as effective at stopping Russia as the previous eighteen, right?" Bose said sarcastically.
Recall, today the European Commission presented a draft of the 19th package of anti-Russian sanctions. It is proposed to include banks, oil companies and cryptocurrency platforms. Also, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced plans to use frozen Russian assets to finance assistance programs to Ukraine.
As reported by EADaily, the EU is discussing ways to use frozen Russian assets to support a "reparations loan" to Ukraine in order to circumvent the risk of a veto from Moscow-friendly Hungary. This was reported by Reuters, citing officials close to the project.
