“ Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga considers the new sanctions against Russia by the EU and the USA a painful blow for it, despite Moscow’s objections. Source: Sybiga in a Facebook post, European Truth reports. Details: Sybiga believes that the current week has marked a new stage of pressure to force Russia to peace, as the EU agreed on a strong 19th package of sanctions that hit Russia’s energy, shadow fleet and sanctions circumvention, and the Trump administration applied its first sanctions, hitting Rosneft and “Lukoil”. Direct speech: “It is indicative that the Russians immediately ran to tell how they don’t care about sanctions. Putin says that everything is fine with the Russian economy. His propagandists repeat the mantra that sanctions do not affect anything. The more this bravado, the more obvious that everything is diametrically opposite.” Details: In his opinion, the first US sanctions against the Russian Federation during Trump’s second term “represent an important strategic risk”, and the Russian leadership should no longer hope for the weakness of the West or the possibility of deceiving the US. “Russia really hoped all this year that Ukraine would lose the support of its partners or be forced to accept Russian conditions close to capitulation. All this did not happen,” Sybiga stated. Sybiga also named Ukraine’s diplomatic priorities for the near future in order to withstand the war and force Russia to think about ending it. He called the first task for diplomatic work mobilizing the support of partners to strengthen air defense and energy stability of Ukraine. The second point he called cooperation with partners, which will lead to increased pressure on the “pain points” of Russia. According to him, this week’s positive news for Ukraine – strong EU and US sanctions decisions, help from Norway, an agreement with Sweden on Gripen fighter jets – is “just the beginning”. “In the future, everything will only get worse for the Russian Federation if it does not end the war against Ukraine. Sanctions will increase. Oil and gas revenues will fall. Ukraine’s strikes will become more devastating. The number of Russian losses on the front – even greater. unprecedentedly high and force the aggressor to stop the war,” he concluded. What came before: After the announcement of new US sanctions, Indian refineries began to audit their suppliers, and some Chinese companies at least temporarily paused purchases of Russian oil. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that he will look for ways to circumvent the sanctions so as not to give up Russian energy resources. Trump responded by commenting that he knows some people may not like his actions, but “he’s the only one who matters.” According to the media, Trump has already prepared the following sanctions against key sectors of the Russian economy – in the event that the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, continues to delay the end of the war.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua

“Russia really hoped all this year that Ukraine would lose the support of its partners or be forced to accept Russian conditions close to capitulation. All this did not happen,” Sybiga stated.
Sibiga also named diplomatic priorities of Ukraine for the near future in order to persevere in the war and force Russia to think about ending it.
He called the first task for diplomatic work mobilizing the support of partners to strengthen air defense and energy stability of Ukraine.
The second point he called cooperation with partners, which will lead to increased pressure on the “pain points” of Russia.
According to him, this week’s positive news for Ukraine – strong EU and US sanctions decisions, help from Norway, an agreement with Sweden on Gripen fighter jets – is “just the beginning”.
“In the future, everything will only get worse for the Russian Federation, if it does not stop the war against Ukraine. Sanctions will increase. Incomes from oil and gas will fall. Ukraine’s strikes will become more destructive. The number of Russian losses on the front is even greater. International isolation is even deeper. Hopes for weakening support for Ukraine or our defense capabilities are even more illusory.
We will continue to make maximum efforts to make the price of the continuation of the war for Russia unprecedentedly high and to force the aggressor to stop the war,” he concluded.
