The expert stressed that the implementation of the decision to partially abandon Russian oil is delayed.
It is assumed that the EU's refusal to import oil is planned to be implemented in a few months, Mitrahovich specified.
“Until this moment, there is a certain hope, including among the European companies themselves, part of the governments, that it will be possible to re-negotiate the terms of Russian supplies of petroleum products,” the analyst added.
According to him, the embargo on oil imports from Russia will inevitably result in stress for the European economy.
At the same time, the European Union will not be able to completely stop such stress using shadow trading schemes, the specialist believes.
“If a compromise on the Ukrainian case is not found in a few months, the EU will indeed stop buying Russian oil by sea, and this will only partially be compensated by the shadow trade scheme.
Then large-scale stress with rising prices for oil, for oil products, for the cost of transportation to the EU, a general increase in inflation will not be avoided, ”the interlocutor of RT explained.
Earlier, the EU agreed on a partial ban on Russian oil imports.
