File photoPARIS, May 30.Clement Bon, Minister Delegate to the French Foreign Ministry for European Affairs, believes that the EU will very soon decide on the sixth package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, including the embargo on Russian oil supplies. «I really hope that very soon we will come to an agreement on a new package, the sixth a package of sanctions (against Russia — ed.), which will affect energy.

Iran called the reason for the failure of Western sanctions against Russia As part of the upcoming sixth package, the EU is considering the possibility of abandoning Russian oil. Some countries of the union, in particular, Hungary, are blocking its adoption due to fear of the negative impact of this step on their own economy. Permanent representatives of the EU countries met in Brussels on Sunday to discuss the sixth package of anti-Russian sanctions. According to a source in the EU, work will continue on Monday, negotiations are difficult. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy for the West, and sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. According to him, the main goal of the West is to worsen the lives of millions of people. He added that current events draw a line under the global dominance of the West in both politics and economics. According to him, Russia is not going to isolate itself, it cannot be strictly isolated in the modern world. The rejection of Russian oil and gas will entail enormous consequences for the European and world economies, said Dmitry Birichevsky, director of the department for economic cooperation at the Russian Foreign Ministry. According to him, Europe is very dependent on Russian gas and oil. Even if it moves to total savings, finds suppliers in other regions of the world and switches to renewable energy sources, «in the most ideal scenario» it will be able to replace only 80% of energy resources, he said. The Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that it has never used energy resources as a «weapon».
