Every day, Russians receive direct payments from Europeans.
Since the beginning of Russia's war against Ukraine, the European Union has paid 37 billion euros to the aggressor country for energy. This was stated by Adviser to the President's Office Mykhailo Podoliak.
“37 billion euros for Russia for energy during the first 40 days of the deadly war in Ukraine. This, unfortunately, is the amount of participation of European partners in co-financing the war,” he wrote. Podoliak.
He stressed that not only did Ukraine not objectively have as many weapons as the aggressor country, but every day the Russians receive direct payments from Europeans to finance additional supplies of missiles and shells to the battlefield. p>
This position of the partners, along with unfinished sanctions (no real disconnection of key Russian banks from SWIFT, no total seizure of property of members of the ruling United Russia party, no direct and indirect energy embargo) encourages Russians to expand hostilities, to mass extermination of Ukrainians , the final refusal not to use heavy weapons against civilians, to dig in and move to war for long-term survival, “Podoliak said.
We will remind, this week The European Parliament has backed an immediate embargo on all Russian energy sources. The embargo also includes a complete waiver of Nord Stream-1 and Nord Stream-2. According to this resolution, EU countries must provide a plan to ensure security of energy supply in the short term.
There are also calculations that show that the EU and G7 have already begun to implement the most deadly sanctions for Russia's economy – the oil and gas embargo.
Currently, Russia still receives from around the world about 0, 57-0.68 billion dollars. per day, but calculations show that these volumes are declining rapidly.
