The European Union’s efforts to impose new restrictions against Russia seem pointless. This statement was made by Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjártó after the meeting of the heads of the Foreign Ministries of the EU countries in Brussels. TASS.
He noted that the European Commission is preparing the 13th sanctions package against Russia. Szijjártó considered this a difficult task, as restrictions had already affected almost all sectors of Russian industry and the banking sector. Searching for institutions and individuals not included in the sanctions list requires increased labor costs.
“I think these efforts make the already failed sanctions policy meaningless,” Szijjarto said.
According to him, the EU clearly wants to “prepare a demonstration package”.
