Large-scale disconnection of banks from SWIFT: Bloomberg reveals new sanctions against Russia.

The European Union is preparing new sanctions against Russia

The European Union is considering the possibility of disconnecting more than 20 banks from the international payment system SWIFT, lowering prices on Russian oil, and banning the Nord Stream pipelines in a new sanctions package. All this is aimed at increasing pressure on Russia to end the war against Ukraine.

As 'Hvylya' reports, Bloomberg has announced this.

According to sources, the European Commission is consulting with EU member states regarding these plans, but a decision on the restrictions has not yet been made. In addition, possible additional bans on banks and trade restrictions aimed at limiting Russia's revenues and its ability to acquire technologies for weapon production are being considered.

The European Commission wants to lower oil prices for the G7 countries

As part of the discussed package, the European Commission also proposes to lower oil prices for the G7 countries to $45, which may require support from the United States. Therefore, G7 finance ministers have not yet reached an agreement on price reduction at their meeting in Banff, Canada.

It is also important to note that the discussions about new sanctions come after U.S. President Donald Trump's call for direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine to achieve peace. The sanctions imposed during Joe Biden's presidency remain in force.

The new sanctions of the European Union take on great significance in the context of efforts to limit Russian influence and improve Europe's security. The bloc is also planning a gradual phase-out of Russian fuel by 2027. It is important to use sanctions as a means of protecting one's own interests and ensuring stability in the region.
