European Union countries are discussing an oil embargo against Russia.
The EU did not include the oil embargo in the fifth package of sanctions. However, such a decision will be considered at the level of foreign ministers on April 11. /p>
«Today I hope that the fifth package of sanctions will be finally approved by the ambassadors and finally by the written procedure of the EU Foreign Affairs Council», Borrell said.
Borrell believes that sooner or later a decision on the oil embargo against the Russian Federation will be made, but not in the coming days. «To be discussed on Monday at the EU Foreign Affairs Council by ministers. And sooner or later, I hope, sooner this will happen», — said the head of EU diplomacy.
Note that the countries of the European Union are discussing the imposition of an oil embargo against Russia. This will deprive the aggressor country of the lion's share of export earnings, but will create problems with energy resources for Europe as well. A number of countries insist on such a decision, including Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia. The already imposed sanctions cannot stop the war against Ukraine, so we have to take more drastic measures.
