Finally, Russian oil in the EU was announced by Von der Leyen
The Sixth package of European sanctions against Russiaannounces the Ursula von der Leyen in the European Parliament.
Especially on the crucial issue of energy imports Layen stressed:
“A total ban on the import of Russian oil, from the sea and from pipelines, crude and refined, will be imposed. We will ensure the phasing out of Russian oil in ways that both we and our allies can secure alternative supply routes and minimize the effects on world markets. “That is why we will gradually phase out the supply of Russian crude oil within six months and refined products by the end of the year.”
The sanctions require a unanimous decision by the 27 EU member states, with Slovakia already calling for an exemption and Hungary calling the energy supply sanctions a “red line”.
Other measures to be taken against Russia are:
- Recording of high-ranking military officials and other people accused of committing war crimes in Bouka as well as those responsible for the siege of Mariupol
- EU ban on three Russian state radio and television networks.
- Expulsion of SberBank, the largest Russian bank from the Swift payment system and two more banks.
Von der Leyen said Europe has an increased responsibility to Ukraine and also proposed an “ambitious reconstruction package” for the country.
