The European Commission believes that a complete ban on the maritime export of Russian oil will not pose a major threat to market stability
RIA Novosti, Brussels - Siobhan McGarry, a spokesperson for the European Commission, said at a press briefing that the European Commission has reassessed the potential impact of oil sanctions and believes that a complete ban on the maritime exports of Russian oil will not pose a major threat to market stability.
On February 6, the European Commission proposed and announced a package of sanctions, the main content of which is a complete ban on maritime services related to Russian crude oil supply.
When asked why the European Commission suggested abolishing the price cap measures on Russian oil and shifting to a complete ban, McGarry replied: "Concerns about market instability: when we make such recommendations, we analyze the potential impacts. Therefore, if we have made this recommendation, it is clear that the relevant assessment has changed."
Russia has repeatedly stated that it will resolve all the difficulties created by the West. Moscow claims that the West lacks the courage to admit that the sanctions against Russia have failed. People in Western countries continue to point out that the anti-Russian sanctions are ineffective.
Moscow has repeatedly stated that the West made a serious mistake by refusing to purchase energy resources from Russia, which will lead to a greater dependence determined by higher prices. Moscow says that those who refuse will still buy at high prices through intermediaries and continue to purchase Russian oil and gas.
