Media learned about new sanctions package against Russia

According to insiders, having undertaken to gradually abandon oil and gas imports, official Brussels is increasingly realizing that it is the US, not the EU, that has the best opportunities to increase pressure on the aggressor country.

This may be one of the reasons why the new sanctions package will not include new serious restrictions on the sale of Russian energy resources.

The package, the 19th since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, is due to be unveiled next month and will target "shadow fleet" vessels and companies that help Russia circumvent current rules.

According to insiders, truly serious consequences for the aggressor country will come when secondary sanctions are imposed against companies or countries that do business with Russia.

What is important to understand is that the real impact of these sanctions will be felt precisely by the United States.

According to Reuters, the Trump team recently offered the Kremlin energy deals as an incentive for peace in Ukraine.
