The EU commented on the sanctions policy towards Russia.
Eight finance ministers from Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Finland, Sweden and Estonia proposed working on tightening anti-Russian sanctions.
The experts expressed their opinion in a publication for the Guardian newspaper.
The article notes that the above-mentioned European states should continue to work on anti-Russian sanctions.
In particular, the finance ministers advocated for more strict control over the trade of Russian oil. In their opinion, the black gold from Russia is still traded at a higher price than the established ceiling of $60 per barrel.
Experts are also confident that states bordering the Russian Federation are helping the country find loopholes and circumvent previously introduced restrictions.
The article proposes increasing sanctions pressure in industries considered key to Russia. The ministers advocated tougher sanctions in the energy, technology and finance sectors.
