Despite the demonstration of unity on the issue of pressure on Russia, the European Union and the United States have not been able to agree on specific sanctions. Earlier in Washington and European countries, they repeatedly stated that they would take tough measures in the event of an “invasion of Russia” into Ukraine.
According to “Interfax”, on the issue of sanctions, numerous negotiations have already taken place, which have not yielded results.
It was previously reported that Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan acknowledged the existence of such differences. According to him, the list of sanctions of Brussels and Washington may not coincide.
According to Bloomberg, US pressure on Europe indicates dissatisfaction with the European position. It is noted that European countries are raising the issue of the impact of sanctions against Russia on their own economies. For example, some consider it unacceptable to disconnect Russia from SWIFT.
