“This is a symbolic measure.

We have a very small volume of gold supplies to the EU countries,” Suzdaltsev said.

In his opinion, Russia will not have problems with the supply of gold due to the sufficient number of importers, in addition to the EU states.

By imposing a ban on the import of Russian gold, Europe primarily expects to impress its own citizens, the expert believes.

“We will not buy Russian gold – for Westerners it looks very good.

In fact, this will have practically no economic consequences for us, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier, the EC proposed a ban on the import of gold from Russia.
