Bloomberg learned about the reluctance of the EC to disclose details of anti-Russian sanctions

The European Commission, which has taken the lead in preparing sanctions in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, is in no hurry to reveal the details of the sanctions package to EU countries, Bloomberg reports, citing diplomatic sources.

According to them, the EC wants to avoid leaks of information about the measures being prepared in order to prevent Russia from analyzing in advance the possible damage from them.

One of the interlocutors of the agency added that due to the lack of details of the country - EU members cannot fully prepare for the possible economic consequences for them.

The European Union also did not hold a group discussion of the details of possible sanctions within the bloc. Instead, the commission held individual talks with the countries that are members of the union to assess the possible consequences of restrictive measures for Europe, Bloomberg sources say. The EU fears economic damage from trade sanctions against Russia, and that Moscow could restrict energy exports that countries like Germany need.
