Von der Layen noted that over the past month, Russia has demonstrated “the entire degree of disrespect for diplomacy and international law”, strengthening the attack of drones and missiles to Ukraine. She recalled Russian strikes by Kyiv, as a result of which the EU office in the capital, as well as the invasions of Russian drones in Poland and Romania, suffered. According to von der Lyain, this speaks of the reluctance of the world on the part of the Russian Federation.
According to her, the EU wants to reduce Russia's income from fossil fuel, prohibiting the import of Russian liquefied natural gas into European markets.
In addition, 118 more vessels of the Russian shadow fleet will be added to the sanctions list, which has 560 vessels.
Rosneft and Gazpromneft will ban Russian energy companies to ban transactions, and the assets of other companies will be frozen.
The new package of measures will also be aimed at oil refineries, oil meters, petrochemical companies in third countries, including China, which allegedly buy oil in violation of sanctions, the head of the European Commission said.
“For three years, Russia's income from oil sales in Europe has declined by 90%. Now we are finally turning this page,” she said.
According to von der Lyain, the sanctions package of measures will also be aimed at closing financial loopholes. It includes a ban on transactions against additional banks in Russia and banks in third countries.
The package also introduces new direct restrictions on the export of goods and technologies used on the battlefield, which will affect 45 companies in Russia and third countries. Von der Layen noted that these companies provide direct or indirect support to the Russian military-industrial complex.
In addition, although they will not touch frozen Russian assets, Ukraine will receive reparation loans that will be repaid at the expense of future payments to Ukraine from Russia, she said.
“We will continue to use all the tools at our disposal in order to put an end to this brutal war,” said von der Lyain, calling on the EU member countries to approve this package.
