The European Union has exhausted its options for further economic restrictions against Russia, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing EU officials.
The bloc has so far adopted ten rounds of sanctions in response to the Ukraine conflict and is currently working on an eleventh package of punitive measures against Moscow. Meetings between the European Commission and member state officials to informally discuss new actions will start on Friday, FT wrote.
Officials working on further sanctions told the outlet that they are likely to be limited to expanding the list of individuals subject to asset freezes and travel bans, as well as steps to scale up existing measures by closing loopholes.
Most officials reportedly admitted that those parts of the Russian economy that were left unsanctioned are parts that one or more EU member states “can’t live without,” and thus measures targeting them would be vetoed.
“We are done,” one of the officials told FT, adding: “If we do more sanctions, there will be more exemptions than measures.”
It’s actually ridiculous that they are still looking at ways to sanction Russia. Anybody who isn’t a retard has seen that the sanctions have totally failed and did more economic damage to the EU than Russia. They’ve actually made Russia stronger economically.
These EU people are nothing more than a bunch of evil fools.
