EU's new show of force

Specifically, the EU decided to sanction countries, individuals and entities that evade policy measures that have been applied by the EU for a long time and will be applied in the future against Russia and those who support Russia. So far, in the world , only the US has implemented this type of sanctions.

However, the extent to which the EU has applied the 11th package of sanctions is limited. The EU has only banned EU economic sectors from exporting certain goods to certain trading partners that the EU believes will re-ship those goods to Russia. This means that the EU has only targeted exports from the EU and not directly targeted external partners that "circumvent" EU laws. The EU intends to leave room for further sanctions tightening.

EU continues new round of sanctions against Russia

With this precedent of sanctions, the EU wants to demonstrate consistency and thoroughness in its policy of supporting Ukraine, while at the same time strongly warning and deterring all external partners. From the perspective of interests, the new policy decision is not difficult to understand. But the question that cannot be avoided here is whether the EU's show of force is really useful, or is it more harmful than beneficial and is it enough to subdue some target parties? What can be certain is that the EU is very confident, even overconfident, in the gravity of this new show of force.
