List of 3 European Countries with the Heaviest Sanctions on Russia

LONDON – Russia continues to receive various sanctions from countries in the world due to its invasion of Ukraine. The sanctions were given to pressure Russia for its attacks on Ukraine.

Previously, several countries such as the United States (US), Japan, Australia, and other countries had announced various sanctions for Russia.

Responding to this, Russia is not afraid because it reflects on several previous events, Russia also often gets sanctions, but in fact it can still survive until now.

However, in this case, several European Union countries argue that indirectly, the sanctions imposed will pressure Russia’s position and make it experience a crisis.

Compiled from various sources, here are some European countries that imposed the harshest sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine:

Britain became the first European country to impose the harshest sanctions on Russia. In this case, previously Prime Minister (PM) Boris Johnson, had announced British sanctions against Russia, namely by freezing 5 Russian banks and three Russian billionaires named Gennady Timchenko, Boris Rotenberg, and Igor Rotenberg.

After that, additional sanctions emerged when Foreign Minister Liz Truss issued a series of aviation sanctions against Russia.

“We have strengthened the ban on overflights and landings of Russian aircraft in the UK. For Russian aircraft that continue to fly and land in England, they will be subject to criminal penalties in accordance with applicable regulations,” said the British Foreign Minister.
