Estonia supports a very important sanction as part of the next package of sanctions that the EU will impose against Russia due to the war in Ukraine, and this is because they want a total ban on the purchase of energy from the country that invaded Ukraine at the end of February , and who has not yet left his territory.
Estonia comes with this request in the conditions in which the European Union is preparing for an extremely difficult winter in which Russia could stop gas deliveries in certain periods, and a complete renunciation of Russian deliveries could completely bring the EU economy to its knees, not to mention of the immediate impact on citizens.
"Estonia imposes the total embargo on Russian energy in the EU sanctions package. “We must seriously raise the price of war on the aggressor before winter. The previous seven packages proved insufficient to push Putin to end the war," said Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu."
