The EU announced the 19th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation: Putin is worried about toilets

Share: After the announcement of the new package of sanctions, the Russian mass media in the entire long list adopted the ban on the supply of toilets and bidets to the Russian Federation. Putin even commented on the ban, saying that no restrictions against Moscow allegedly work. In the 19th package of sanctions of the European Union (EU), a ban on the supply of toilets, bidets, sinks and other sanitary products to Russia was introduced.

This is stated in the resolution of the Council of the EU, published on October 23 in the "Official Journal of the European Union". The list of goods prohibited for import into Russia includes "bidets, sinks, toilets and other sanitary fittings". RosZMI reported with concern that "the rationale for such a ban has not been presented. " Focus collected everything that is known.

"The 19th package of anti-Russian sanctions also included dozens of other categories of goods, including plastic toys with motors, flowers, decorative lichens and mosses, as well as dual-purpose goods," wrote the Russian media "Izvestie". "We have just passed the 19th package of sanctions. It targets, in particular, Russian energy companies, banks, cryptocurrency exchanges and companies in China. The EU also regulates the movement of Russian diplomats to counter attempts at destabilization.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for Putin to finance his war. Every euro we deny Russia is a euro it cannot spend on war. The 19th package will not the last," promised Kaya Kallas, Head of European Diplomacy Kaya Kallas. And the permanent representation of the Russian Federation to the EU has already noted that the adoption by the EU of the 19th package of anti-Russian sanctions is "a Sisyphean task that cannot harm Russia.

" The message on the mission's website also states that the sanctions harm the EU countries themselves. The ban on toilets and bidets worried the Kremlin so much that the Russian president even went to reporters to talk about it. "Listen, they can't supply toilets now. The fact that they canceled the purchase of our toilets will cost them dearly. They. . . in general. . . I think they would be needed in today's situation," Putin said.

And he said that the new EU sanctions "will not significantly affect the economic well-being of Russia. " Ilya Sorokin, known as Doctor Evil, is on the list for allegedly torturing prisoners of war in a penal colony in Mordovia.
