Estonia is proposing a complete ban on Russian oil shipments by sea as part of a new package of sanctions
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna announced the start of work on the next package of EU sanctions against Russia immediately after the approval of the 20th sanctions list. The Estonian side insists on completely cutting off the sources of funding for the aggression by imposing a ban on maritime oil transport services.
Tsakna wrote about this on the X platform.
Tsahkna welcomed the adoption of the previous package of restrictions, which had been blocked by Hungary and Slovakia. He emphasized that Estonia will push for radical measures against Russian oil exports until the war ends completely and the country returns to its borders. The minister assured that work on the next steps has already begun.
The European Union unanimously approved a €90 billion loan for Ukraine and imposed the 20th package of sanctions against Russia due to its armed aggression. Disbursement of the loan will begin shortly to meet the Ukrainian state’s most urgent budgetary needs.
Prior to this, EU ambassadors approved a €90 billion loan for Ukraine and agreed on the 20th package of sanctions against Russia.
