France: The sanctions have not been effective; The time of devastating economic pressure on Russia has come

French Foreign Minister Jean-Nuel Barrow said on Wednesday, after the EU’s 17th package was approved, the impact of sanctions was inadequate so far and that the block should cooperate with the United States; Where Congress has prepared crippling measures to take action if US President Donald Trump wants to put pressure on Moscow.

“Today we are approved by the seventeenth package of sanctions,” Barrow told the Russian president, referring to the Russian president. “We have to go beyond because the current sanctions have failed to prevent Vladimir Putin from continuing his aggressive war.”

“So we must be ready to expand devastating sanctions that can strangle the Russian economy forever,” he said.

In the 17th package, about 5 tankers belonging to the shadow fleet have been boycotted.

According to diplomatic sources, countries continue to consult with their parliaments about details, but the package is expected to be approved by the EU foreign ministers next week.

The last tightening of the sanctions comes as Moscow and Kiev may hold their first peace talks in Istanbul tomorrow since the start of Russia’s operations in February.

In addition to ships, the package imposes new restrictions on two dual-use commodity commerce, and four individuals and institutions will be listed on the sanctions list because of the relationship with the Russian military-industrial organization. Countries have also agreed to expand the legal base of their sanctions against Russian composite threats.

One of the new measures will allow the European Union to boycott fleets that destroy submarine cables and other physical infrastructure. There are also four institutions and others added to the list.

Some European leaders have threatened to impose more sanctions against Russia if Putin disagreed with a ceasefire in Ukraine, but officials and diplomats have said they will face significant political barriers and need US support to succeed.

Barrow, who is due to attend NATO’s foreign ministers meeting in Turkey on Thursday, said that in Turkey, US Senator Lindsi Graham would talk about the US sanctions bill he is editing.

Baro said the bill will apply a 5 % tariff bill to countries importing oil from Russia. “Russia has found ways to circumvent Europe and the United States, so closing oil milk will put Russia suffocating,” he said.

According to Reuters, diplomats said talks about the new EU package will take several weeks and will be aimed at banking, financial and energy, but it would be difficult to achieve consensus among the four members of the block.

Within the human rights framework, the European Union also agreed on Wednesday that judges and prosecutors involved in the cases of Russian-prison-prison-prisoners Vladimir Kara-Mourza, a Russian-inmate and Alexei-Navalni-based Russian critic who killed Russian prison in February last year. According to diplomatic sources, countries have also agreed to ban the export of chemicals used in missile production.
