Le Monde announced the exhaustion of the EU sanctions against Russia

The last, seventh package of EU sanctions against Russia is mainly a correction of the already introduced restrictions and an increase in their effectiveness, European countries are close to exhausting the possibilities in the sanctions policy, writes Le Monde, citing a source in diplomatic circles.

“We have come to the end of what we could do,” the diplomat said.

According to him, EU member states do not intend to voluntarily deprive themselves of Russian gas supplies. Despite the fact that Poland and the Baltic countries are in favor of such a step, they do not want to bring it up for discussion, because then disagreements within the EU would become apparent, an unnamed source said.
