DISINFO: New sanctions on Russia humiliate the EU
SUMMARY
New sanctions on Russia are illogical and absurd. These sanctions are forced on the EU and they humiliate the European Union. This policy is imposed on the EU by Washington.
RESPONSE
Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the US presence in Europe and sanctions.
On the 22 February 2021 the Foreign affairs ministers of the EU agreed on future restrictive measures in response to seriuos violations of human rights in Russia. As High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said: “In response to the events around the situation of Mr. Navalny we reached a political agreement to impose restrictive measures against those responsible for his arrest, sentencing and persecution. For the first time ever we will make use of the EU Global Human Rights Regime to this.“
See similar cases: Sanctions are a childish reaction of the EU; The West is using Navalny’s case as a pretext for sanctions; The West needs a cause to sanction Russia, if there isn’t one, they will invent it.
