The end of the diamond empire. What is important a new package of sanctions against Russia, which is now being prepared

"During the year, economic sanctions did not collapse the Russian economy, but caused it serious damage, and this influenced the capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex and the mood of the population. The devaluation of the ruble became another confirmation of the effect of sanctions. " The idea of ​​full blockade of Western goods exports to Russia has not yet been supported by Japan and the EU.

Therefore, the G7 Summit in Hiroshima will propose a plan for strengthening existing sanctions and the introduction of new ones in the sectors where the Russian Federation still receives revenues from international trade. During the year, economic sanctions did not collapse the Russian economy, but caused it serious damage, and this influenced the capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex and the mood of the population.

The devaluation of the ruble became another confirmation of the effect of sanctions. The Yermak-Macfola group presented their new proposals, which they called "Action 2. 0". Reference to the document in the comments, it is quite voluminous and interesting for specialists. It is proposed to reduce the price limit on Russian oil to $ 45 per barrel and full sanctions against all oil and gas companies. To block "Turkish flows" and allow exports of Russian gas only through the Ukrainian GTS.

It is also proposed to block the export channel of Russian diamonds through Antwerp. To impose sanctions against Rosatom, taking into account personal sanctions against management and against subsidiaries. On banks - full sanctions against Gazprombank and the exit of all Western banks from the Russian Federation.

A separate block of proposals - specific mechanisms for the confiscation of Russian assets, in particular the adoption of legislative acts in countries where such assets are hidden or frozen. In the process of adopting personal sanctions, it is proposed to use the NAPC database as much as possible, which has collected information about 25,000 people, which should be used for personal visa and financial restrictions.
