Ukraine proposes EU to completely block transport links with Russia
The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine has sent an official appeal to the European Commission with proposals to increase economic pressure on the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus.
According to the Telegram channel of the ministry, despite the already introduced restrictive measures, Russian business finds workarounds and continues to conduct operations in other countries. Accordingly, the existing sanctions do not fully achieve their goal.
In this regard, the Ministry of Infrastructure proposes to the European Union:
- completely block land and sea transport links with Russia and Belarus;
- block the possibility of transporting goods and people to Russia and Belarus through the territory of the European Union and across its borders;
- prohibit the provision of customs services for goods delivered to the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus.
According to the Ministry of Infrastructure, these measures are necessary to stop the supply of dual-use goods to the aggressor country that can be used for military purposes.
