Poland could serve as a model for global action on Russia, asserted a PiS member of the European Parliament. The comments emphasize that sanctions could be moved through more rapidly if political will aligns with the urgency of the moment.
With a full year passing since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, there is a clear call to accelerate the next rounds of penalties and enforcement measures to keep pressure on Moscow.
The lawmaker underlined the expectation that more clear information will emerge after the EU-Ukraine summit held in Kyiv, signaling a pathway for stronger measures and accountability.
There was a note of hope that concrete proposals would reach President Volodymyr Zelensky, accompanying the usual statements of support with tangible steps that could bolster Ukraine’s position on the ground.
Circumvent sanctions
The discussion then turned to how some states manage to sidestep sanctions targeting Russia. The speaker warned that the job is not only about issuing penalties but also about ensuring proper implementation and enforcement. The example given highlighted the ongoing business ties maintained by several French firms with the Russian market, illustrating how gaps in execution can dilute the impact of sanctions.
These points reflect a broader concern about taxonomies and controls, urging partners to close loopholes and to uphold a consistent standard in line with shared European and transatlantic goals. The aim is to strengthen the sanctions regime so it remains effective under evolving economic and geopolitical conditions.

Analysts also consider the domestic and regional implications of sanctions, including how businesses adapt and how government agencies track and respond to evasion tactics. The conversation remains focused on delivering clear guidance to both member states and private sector partners to maintain pressure on Moscow while safeguarding legitimate trade relations and regional stability.
