Statement: The EU has imposed sanctions on 22 Russian banks
According to a document published by the official journal of the EU, the EU has imposed sanctions on 22 Russian banks, including T-Bank, Yandex Bank, and Ozon Bank.
In addition, Surgutneftegazbank, Severgazbank, and Energotransbank have also been sanctioned.
Russia has repeatedly stated that the country will respond to the increasing sanctions imposed by the West in recent years. Moscow pointed out that the West lacks the courage to acknowledge the failure of the sanctions against Russia. There have been repeated views within Western countries that the sanctions against Russia are ineffective.
Moscow has repeatedly stated that the West made a serious mistake by refusing to purchase oil and gas from Russia, which will lead it into a new and greater dependence determined by higher prices. Moscow said that those who refuse will still purchase Russian oil and gas at high prices through intermediaries and continue to do so.
President Putin of Russia previously stated that containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and sanctions have severely hit the global economy. He said that the main purpose of the West is to worsen the lives of millions of people.
