EUobserver learns about EU plans to ban Rossiya 1, NTV and REN TV

In addition to TV channels, the EU proposes to ban the broadcasts of six online broadcasters, the newspaper writes, citing a list of proposals to tighten sanctions from the Baltic countries and Poland.Initiatives supported by Ireland

Poland and the Baltic countries are in favor of tougher sanctions against RUSSIA and propose, among other things, to ban the broadcasting of three Russian TV channels - NTV Mir, Rossiya 1 and REN TV, as well as six agencies and portals - NewsFront, SouthFront, Katehon, "Strategic Culture Foundation ”, Fondsk and InfoRos. Ireland supported the initiatives, according to EUobserver, citing a nine-page document with proposals for sanctions distributed in Brussels.

The state proposes to tighten sanctions against the backdrop of holding referendums on joining Russia from September 23 to 27 in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, as well as on the territories of Zaporozhye and Kherson regions that came under the control of Russian forces during the military operation in Ukraine, the newspaper notes.

Among the proposals supported by Ireland:

www. disconnection of Gazprombank, Alfa-Bank, Rosbank and Tinkoff Bank from the SWIFT international payment system. The publication notes that the shutdown of Gazprombank will have far-reaching consequences, since payments for Russian gas in rubles pass through it; a ban on transfers of cash euros or dollars to Russia; a ban on financing by Russia of companies registered in the European Union, NGOs, etc.; a ban on the sale of real estate to Russians; refusal to buy, import and resell diamonds from Russia; a ban on the use of Kaspersky Lab technologies in the EU and the provision of services to Russian clients by European IT companies; a ban on cooperation with Russia in the field of nuclear energy; a ban on the supply of high-tech goods to Russia, including smartphones, RADAR equipment and laser devices.

In addition, it is proposed to blacklist those who help Russia to circumvent sanctions. Their assets will be frozen, and these people will not be issued visas.

The publication indicates that, according to one of its sources, this document is considered in the EU rather as a "road map" for further action.
