Minus 7.5 billion euros income: EU presented the eighth package of sanctions against Russia

Russia, she said, has reached a new level of escalation of war in Ukraine, conducting the so -called "referendums". "It is an illegal attempt to pick up land and change borders by force. Mobilization and threats with nuclear weapons is the next step in Putin's escalation. We intend to make the Kremlin pay for it," von Der Lyen said. The eighth package imposes personal sanctions against Russian individuals and legal entities.

Trade in military technologies - aviation parts, electronic components and specific chemical compounds is prohibited. The European Commission predicts that sanctions will deprive the Russian Federation of EUR 7. 5 billion income. Von Der Liaien proposed to ban additional services for Russia, citizens of EU countries will not allow management positions in Russian state -owned companies. "Russia should not use the European scientific base and knowledge.

We offer additional prohibitions on the provision of European services," she said. Brussels imposes new sanctions for people who help the Russian Federation to circumvent restrictions. Buyers of EU goods that bring them to third countries, and then Russia, can become the object of sanctions themselves. The European Commission has invented a legal basis for the introduction of marginal prices for Russian oil in the eighth package. Some of the countries need oil imports to low prices.

"Restrictions will help reduce Russia's income and maintain stability in the world energy markets," she added. The sanction proposal freezes assets and prohibits trips to the EU by high -ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and persons involved in the "referendum". "The measures will affect those who support the Armed Forces of Russia, providing them with equipment and weapons, missiles and fighters," Brussels said in Brussels, EU Brorell Chief Diplomat.
