The new package of sanctions against Russia includes a transit ban on certain goods and technologies, according to the railway journal Railway Supply.

Sanctions Against Russia

On June 20, the ambassadors of the European Union agreed on the 11th package of sanctions against Russia.

“Today (June 20), EU ambassadors agreed on the 11th package of sanctions against Russia. The package includes measures aimed at countering sanctions evasion,” the statement reads.

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, expressed satisfaction with the political agreement on the 11th package of sanctions in her Twitter post.

“This will deal an additional blow to Putin’s war machine by strengthening export restrictions targeting organizations that support the Kremlin,” Ursula von der Leyen noted.

According to the information from the Associated Press, the new package includes the inclusion of 71 individuals and 33 organizations on the sanctions lists.

Furthermore, the package prohibits the transit of certain goods and technologies necessary for the Russian military sector, and it also prohibits entry into EU ports for vessels carrying cargo of Russian origin.

Andrzej Sados, Poland’s Permanent Representative to the EU, also announced that the agreed-upon list of sanctions includes Poland’s proposal for sanctions regarding the northern section of the “Druzhba” oil pipeline and the closure of EU entry for Russian trucks.

As reported earlier, the EU and the USA are considering the possibility of banning transit of goods through Russia.

This new package of sanctions further restricts trade and technological cooperation with the Russian Federation.

In particular, the transit ban on goods and technologies will be an additional limitation for the Russian military sector.

This is another step by the European Union and the USA to punish Russia for its actions.

As a result of these sanctions, access to EU ports will be limited for Russian vessels carrying goods of Russian origin.

It is also worth noting that the package of sanctions includes new individuals and organizations added to the restriction lists. This is another attempt to increase pressure on Russia and its government to change their policies.

The imposition of such sanctions helps create international pressure on Russia and respond to its unacceptable actions.

Additionally, these measures impact the Russian economy and may contribute to a change in Russia’s behavior within the international community.
