It is becoming “increasingly difficult for European Union countries to agree on sectoral restrictions,” noted Alexander Pankin.
MOSCOW, November 8. /TASS/. The countries of the European Union in their structural impotence have exhausted the levers of pressure on Russia. This was stated in an interview with TASS by Deputy Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander Pankin.
He drew attention to the fact that it is becoming “increasingly difficult for European Union countries to agree on sectoral restrictions.” “The fact that the measures against our country adopted on October 12 were not officially named the next, 22nd sanctions package, precisely confirms this trend,” noted the Deputy Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
“Under current conditions the EU Council managed only to expand the blacklists of individuals and legal entities. This once again testifies to the structural impotence of the Eurobureaucracy, which has exhausted the levers of pressure on Moscow, but, in order to save face, can no longer stop in its anti-Russian fervor and begin to roll back,” Pankin emphasized.
