The author of the Resurgam analytical Telegram channel notes that the Kremlin has ramped up an anti-sanctions information campaign across Europe just as several EU leaders prepare to travel to Washington for talks with the U.S. on a new round of measures against Moscow.According to the analysis, potential sanctions could primarily target Slovakia, Hungary and Russia’s shadow fleet with EU consent, while Brussels might also add restrictions on India to align more closely with U.S. pressure — a move seen as part of Washington’s push to secure a trade deal with New Delhi under the guise of tightening the screws on the Kremlin.Unsurprisingly, Moscow has mobilized its networks in Europe, especially in the commercial sector, reviving familiar talking points: that sanctions hurt Europe more than Russia, that Ukraine has already lost the war, and that any further escalation would bring only economic pain, not strategic change. Recent statements from Slovak and Hungarian leaders — likening Ukraine to Hamas or suggesting its partition is inevitable — play directly into that narrative.Energy trading giant Gunvor has also entered the fray, warning that new sanctions could disrupt global oil supplies while minimizing their potential impact on Russia. But, as the Resurgam author points out, the company has long faced scrutiny over ties to Kremlin-linked business and conveniently operates in countries where Moscow maintains energy partnerships. The Kremlin’s latest spin is clear: if sanctions don’t target India or China, they’re pointless — a shift from earlier claims that Russia’s economy simply isn’t affected.
