The largest package
International energy economist and consultant, Amer Al-Shobaki, said in an interview with the site "Sky News Arabia" :"The European Union’s ninth sanctions package, to be launched virtually on Tuesday, is an expansion of previous packages, which included dozens of institutions and individuals in various Russian governmental, administrative, military and economic sectors, such as a ban on dealing with 3 new large Russian banks, and will include electronic and technical tools, including any inputs that can be used in the manufacture of drones, including small drones classified as children’s toys".
added "Personal computers are also included in the package, and European companies are barred from participating in Russia’s mining sector, as well as a ban on wireless and positioning devices that Russia may employ in its war in Ukraine, and thus it is a severe and extensive package of sanctions affecting many vital sectors that were not previously covered.".
How will Russia react?
- Shobaki replies: "Moscow has not yet announced its practical response mechanisms, but Russia undoubtedly has power cards and lethal maneuvers for the European side, and can use them in response to this package, the most important of which is the gas card, since Europe still relies on Russia by 7.5 percent to secure its gas needs and get through the harsh cold season, especially AND that we haven’t actually entered winter yet, and therefore Europe is in dire need of gas Russian".
- "The second option is Moscow’s suspension of the agreement to facilitate the transit of grain and grain through the Black Sea, which obviously will raise the prices of food and commodity products in a record way in the countries of the European Union and in around the world, which will put an ever greater burden on the economies of the Eurozone and the United Kingdom, which are already suffering from record inflation rates: it has reached 10.6 per cent in the Eurozone and 10.7 per cent in Great Britain, and they are unprecedented rates for nearly half a century.".
- "As for the third option for the Russian response, it is through Moscow that it reduces its production to raise the prices of oil and its fuel and fuel derivatives, which will increase the pressure on the countries of the European system by deepening their energy crisis and the consequent deepening of social, economic and political crises."according to the International Energy Consultant".
