“Plain... There is nothing new in this statement, and it is more than expected.
It, in fact, repeats all those statements containing threats to the Russian economy that have already been heard from the predecessors of Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen.
Her American colleagues also spoke about this, ”said Frolov.
In his opinion, such statements became "mantras".
He noted that "he does not really imagine what unique technologies the European Union can stop sharing."
“Moreover, I have no idea what other sanctions the EU could impose on the Russian energy sector.
Moreover, so that these sanctions do not cover the economy of the European Union itself with a copper basin ... The EU countries buy from Russia not only gas, but oil and oil products, ”the analyst recalled.
In addition, he stressed that the European Union is "one of the main directions for the supply of Russian diesel fuel."
“We also supply about 100-120 million tons of coal there ... Russia sells electricity to some Baltic countries,” the specialist added.
From all of the above, he concluded that the EU today "has exhausted the possibilities of sanctions pressure on Russian energy companies."
“Russia is also an important sales market for European products,” the RT interlocutor concluded.
Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, during her speech at the Munich Security Conference, said that possible EU sanctions against Russia in the event of an aggravation of the situation around Ukraine would affect the energy sector and access to high technologies.
