The European Commission announced today new measures aimed at preventing the violation of its sanctions against Russia, and this is because it decided to warn people or companies that buy products from the European Union, transport them to third countries, and then to Russia.
The European Commission says that including these people violate the sanctions that were imposed on Russia by the international community, so that both the people and the companies that violate the measures could be put on the list of sanctions by the European institutions in the future.
"We are intensifying our efforts to restrict the evasion of sanctions. People who buy goods in, bring them to third countries and then to Russia would evade our sanctions. These individuals who support the Russian regime could be listed.”
We are stepping up our efforts to crack down on sanctions circumvention.
Individuals who buy goods in the 🇪🇺, bring them to 3rd countries and then to Russia would be circumventing our sanctions.
These individuals supporting the Russian regime could be listed.#StandWithUkraine pic.twitter.com/ufWoEghGXr
