Ukraine appealed to the Secretariat of the Energy Community, the European Union and countries participating in the Energy Cooperation Treaty with a proposal to impose a ban on energy imports from Russia. Adviser to the Minister of Energy Lana Zerkal wrote about this on her Facebook page.

She added that Ukraine is facing the EU and countries such as Georgia and Serbia with an ambitious but possible task of ending funding for the punitive police, security services, the state machine and Russian propaganda tools.

“This legislative initiative will shift the discussion of the energy embargo from general phrases and promises to a formal decision-making process,” Zerkal wrote. In particular, it is proposed to ban all supplies by sea, rail and road (coal, tanker oil, fuel and LNG). months when countries will readjust their markets.

“This move will convince alternative oil producers that Europe is serious about pushing Russia out of the market. This period will give producers enough time to offer and sign new long-term contracts with European customers and increase production,” Zerkal wrote.

It is also proposed to introduce special accounts to accumulate all funds from the sale of Russian natural gas pipelines

In such “Iranian” or “Iraqi” type sanctions, gas must be allowed, but payments must be kept in a deposit account with the EU. Such payments may be exempted in exchange for Russia's compliance with certain security conditions. An alternative could be the introduction of a special duty on Russian energy, which will reduce the proceeds from their sale to the level set by the European Commission.
