It will hit the

Europe is a great consumer of Russian coal and such a decision is a clear partnership gesture of Ukraine's support through sanctions against the Russian Federation and even on the eve of the heating season. Video Day All Authoritative Experts recognize that this decision will hit both Russia and EU countries. But for Russia it will be much more painful. Russia has nowhere to put its coal.

In order to redirect streams, you need to carry out a lot of technical work, it is difficult to determine markets, and transport costs will increase for many participants in the Russian market. One of the main difficulties of the Russian Federation in the reorientation of Russian coal East is the discounts from 30% to 50%. For such discounts, it is easier not to produce coal, to release the industry and wait for better times. Sheepskin is not worth it.

And Russian suppliers already have problems due to the lack of railway capacity, the cost of increased freight, and ship insurance. The European Union, in turn, has already found a replacement for Russian coal. If Poland has recently declared a shortage of coal 8 million tonnes due to the abandonment of coal with the Russian Federation, now this problem has now been solved.

Yes, the resulting coal is slightly more expensive than Russian, but it is the price that the civilized world pays to stop the war in Ukraine, and not to let it be overturned to EU countries. At the same time, the EU understands that tariffs will rise when refusing cheaper Russian coal, but they go for it. In Europe, many are aware that the Putin's power is growing on money, and therefore, it is necessary to deprive the Kremlin of money.

In Europe, many realized that if Putin was not stopped today, as he did not stop Hitler, then the European cities will have to be restored from the ruins. Mariupol, Kharkiv, Irpin and Chernihiv have shown to Europeans what can happen if Russian barbarians feel blood taste and have a resource for war in Europe. Russian experts recognize that the problem of supplying coal for the Kremlin is critical, so the resources for its solution will be thrown serious.

But thrown resources do not guarantee Putin a positive result. Moreover, in the best traditions of the Kremlin, this resource will be stolen. So now the Kremlin thinks how to get out of the situation. One thing is to tell idiots from TV screens that do not influence sanctions, and the other is to watch how the sneaky sanctions suffocate the economy of Russia.
