EU moves to cut Russia’s oil routes via Georgia, Indonesia

The European Union has proposed that the sanctions against Russia, imposed because of its aggression against Ukraine, be extended to ports in Georgia and Indonesia where Russian oil is traded.

Under the EU’s proposed 20th package of sanctions against Russia, the ports of Kulevi in Georgia and Karimun in Indonesia would also be included, CE Report quotes MIA.

The sanctions would mean that EU companies and individuals would be prohibited from carrying out transactions with these two ports.

The new package of sanctions includes a ban on imports of nickel, copper, aluminum, iron ore, salt, ammonia, silicon, and fur from Russia.
