The European Union has proposed sanctions against the ports of Kulevi (Georgia) and Karimun (Indonesia) due to operations with Russian oil, Reuters reported on February 9. This is stated in a document prepared by the European Commission and the European External Action Service.
If the European Union approves the proposed sanctions, European companies and individuals will be prohibited from conducting operations with the two mentioned ports, as reported by Meduza.
As noted by Reuters, the EU has proposed for the first time to impose measures against the ports of third countries as part of sanctions against Russia.
The European Union is preparing its 20th package of sanctions against Russia due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is planned to be adopted by the fourth anniversary of the start of the war on February 24.
According to Reuters, the sanctions package is expected to prohibit the import of metals, including nickel bars, iron ore, copper, and various types of scrap metal such as aluminum. Additionally, the EU aims to ban the import of salt, ammonia, gravel, silicon, and fur skins.
