ArmInfo. The date of EU Sanctions Envoy David O'Sullivan's visit to Armenia is not yet known, EU Delegation to Armenia told ArmInfo.
Talking to reporters in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, David O'Sullivan announced his intention to visit countries involved in circumventing EU sanctions imposed on Russia over the war in Ukraine.
"We have said that we will not buy oil and gas from Russia. The third goal of the sanctions is to inflict economic damage on Russia. And the package will be strengthened. At the moment there are ten packages of sanctions that have been agreed with EU partners. There are also countries that do not join them and we respect this decision," David O'Sullivan said.
"After analyzing the trade flows between the EU and the Russian Federation, as well as the increased flows from Kyrgyzstan, it can be pointed out. Kyrgyzstan is not the only such country. I have been to UAE, Turkey, Pakistan, I intend to visit Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Georgia. We have some progress and ideas on how to stop this. There was a growth of 300%. We want to know if your demands and appetites have increased, or whether goods are exported to Russia, which in turn will cause problems," he said.
