How exactly will the damage be compensated,Borrell did not specifyJosep Borrell

Europe can compensate third countries for the damage caused by anti-Russian sanctions , Josep Borrell, the Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said at a briefing after a meeting with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, writes Orda.kz.

“Sanctions against Russia are aimed at weakening the potential for Russian financing of military operations, they are not intended to harm someone else. [If] there is any collateral damage to other countries, we will compensate for it,” he said.

How this will be done, Borrell did not specify.

He added that the imposed sanctions do not affect the supply of food in the world. Russia claims the opposite. As the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Dmitry Patrushev, stated in an interview with RBC, we are talking about "hidden sanctions regarding the transportation of products", although "there is a declaration of the absence of restrictions on the export of products of the agro-industrial sector."

Kazakhstan promised that it would comply with the sanctions imposed against Russia by Western countries. Tokayev said that Astana was receiving "notices that if sanctions are violated, so-called secondary sanctions from the West" will follow on the Kazakh economy.

At the same time, as the president stated, Kazakhstan will remain committed to its allied obligations, since the rejection of them would be unjustified "from the point of view of the future."
