According to Global Network , the European Commission said on October 6 that EU has approved a new round of sanctions against Russia. Its official website released a package of plans for a new round of sanctions on the same day. Czech Ambassador to the EU Heda previously stated that EU member states had reached a consensus on the new round of draft sanctions against Russia on the morning of the 5th, and the specific sanctions measures will take effect immediately after they are published in the EU's official log.
Nord Stream pipeline has just been destroyed, and a new round of EU sanctions on Russia have been approved. This is the eighth round of sanctions imposed by the EU on Russia. The reason why it can pass so quickly is that it has a certain internal connection with the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline. The Nord Stream Pipeline is the main channel for Russia to transport natural gas to Europe. It has been destroyed one after another. It will take a certain amount of time to repair it, and it may even be completely scrapped. This directly cuts off the idea of Europe importing Russian natural gas in the short term. Whether Europe can survive this winter can no longer import Russian natural gas resources in large quantities. In this way, Russia's deterrence effect on Europe's energy killer will be greatly weakened. Since we do not expect Russian natural gas, the biggest obstacle to the EU's sanctions on Russia is gone, and rapid approval has become inevitable.
Of course, the EU imposed a new round of sanctions on Russia at this time, which is also expressing dissatisfaction with Russia. The four regions of Donetsk , Lugansk , Zaporoze , and Khlsson joined Russia, which made Western society extremely angry. Considering this is the largest territorial annexation incident since World War II , they unanimously criticized and condemned Russia. After diplomatic and public opinion attacks, substantive sanctions against Russia are further action. On the one hand, this is to suppress and sanction Russia, express the EU's attitude, and further weaken Russia's strength. Only when Russia's strength is weakened can the EU feel safe, after all, Russia has always been a big trouble for them.
On the other hand, it is to cheer up Ukraine for the platform. The EU has stepped forward to sanction Russia in order to support Ukraine on the surface. It is telling Ukraine that the EU is its strong backing and supports it in confrontation with Russia. This is to show your position. Although the EU cannot participate in the war directly, it can give Ukraine all its support outside the battlefield. It is estimated that after this sanction, the EU will also provide Ukraine with a batch of weapons support. Because the referendum of Ukraine to Russia in the four places actually shocked the nerves of the West and made them realize that Russia's threat is right in front of us, and Ukraine may not be sure of its turn to Europe. The threat of the Soviet red torrent was probably once again before Europe.
Russia will never allow EU sanctions to suppress it, and it is inevitable to carry out certain countermeasures. Also, the current sanctions in the EU are probably more symbolic than practical. Because Europe and the United States have imposed the world's most severe sanctions on Russia, financial freezing, dividing up Russian overseas assets, and even Russian cats and trees have been sanctioned. Russia has withstood such severe sanctions, and it is still alive. Now that there is another round of sanctions, it is difficult to cause any great losses to Russia. After all, all those who should be punished have been punished, and Russia has also adjusted it. For example, Russia's oil and gas resources have begun to be exported in large quantities to the East, and China and India have become its major customers.
So the EU sanctions cannot block Russia. Since global blockade cannot be achieved, sanctions do not have much significance. The Eastern market is enough to make Russia eat and drink. In addition, Russia and China are strategic cooperative partnerships, trade between the two sides is increasing, and military cooperation is also deepening. The warship of China and Russia has just completed its Pacific cruise mission and even appeared directly near Alaska, the United States, exerting its strategic deterrent force. It can be said that if China and Russia join forces, there is no power in the world that can defeat the two countries.
However, it is undeniable that after the four places referendums to Russia, the West's hostility towards Russia became even stronger. Now that the EU has taken action to impose sanctions on Russia, the United States will inevitably follow up in the future, and allies around the United States will probably take corresponding actions in the future. Russia must be prepared for the generals to block the water and soil, so that they can be invincible.
