RBC: The European Union began to use a sanctions approach close to the American one

Now companies or citizens from any country can fall under EU sanctions for helping Russia bypass European restrictions, RBC reminds.

Tomasz Wlostowski, managing partner at Brussels-based consulting firm EuTradeDefense, said this was a "180-degree turn" for the EU, which had previously complained about US authorities' extraterritorial sanctions against non-US persons.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas admitted that it is increasingly difficult for the European Union to impose new sanctions against Russia.

According to her, this comes from the fatigue that the community is experiencing.
