Coal import ban faced opposition among the 27 member-states.

EU policy makers failed to agree Wednesday on a new package of sanctions against Moscow, including a ban on Russian coal imports, Reuters reports, citing its sources. The latest round of economic restrictions was proposed by the European Commission earlier this week.

Persons familiar with the matter explained the fiasco citing “technical issues” that needed to be resolved, including on whether a coal import ban would affect existing contracts.

The sources noted that it was not clear yet how the issues will be resolved, but the EU hopes to reach a compromise at a meeting on Thursday.

The EU depends on Russia for around 45% of its coal imports, according to the European Commission website. In March, European countries imported a total of 7.1 million tons of thermal coal, which is used in power and heat generation. That is a 40.5% increase year-on-year and the highest level of imports since March 2019.

na so bro

Seems Russkies aint playing no longer, i keep seeing destruction everywhere. Even the ship US gave poroshenko got destroyed, ammunitions coming by trains are being bombed.... EU is out of sanctions, now they are barking at China..

Zalensky and his groups of comedians in EU

You want them to do what will ruin them

Imagine EU debating about santions on coal, oil and gas the very same fuel that drives the machines of their industries, na to comot food for their mouth be dat

These guys are just being emotional and erratic. They are not thinking straight to even contemplate introducing sanctions on energy

Nonsense European Union, whose only duty is to deceived themselves and others

RUSSIAN RUBLE RALLIES BACK TO LEVEL SEEN BEFORE UKRAINE WAR.

Baltic states that only depend on German and French money want EU to ban coal from Russia, but Germany and France can't pay for the Baltic states if the coal import will be coming from Australia because that will be too expensive.
Coal price have hit all time high, because massive demand for coal went to the roof

Is like.these people.want the EU to freeze to.death

They bark at India and China
Those ones billions to feed and industries to function, with cheap gas from Russia, China and India will full everywhere.
Japan can't even leave Russia cheap oil and gas deal

The US must really have something on this Zelensky of a guy, with which they can destroy him if he goes against them.

I keep asking myself, what is the end game for Ukraine in all of this. Ukraine can NEVER defeat Russia's military on its own, it's obvious the EU have ran out of sanctions, and the ones in place already cannot stop Russia. Why not take the easy way out, which is diplomacy.

By not destroying Kiev with Bombs (they are more than capable to do that), the Russians have left a big window for negotiations to continue, why not take it, so as to put a stop to the suffering of his people.

Biden said they are ready to fight the Russians till the last man standing in Ukraine, i guess the last man standing would be Zelensky.

Since it's obvious NATO would not get involved directly, why not stop all this drama of calling for negotiations, while at the same time, asking for sanctions, no-fly zone and weapons, so you can push out the Russians.

If they ban oil, gas and coal from Russia at once, how will they survive? How would they power their industries and homes? They need to be pragmatic in their approach to issuing sanctions as the ones they have issued has already hit them too.

Summary:

Zelensky is a huge problem on its own

Europeans are already protesting against their govt for the high price of gas, coal and inflation. Banning Russian coal that they depend would only worsen the situation. Are Europeans dumb? Like, really I want someone to answer me because I am asking a very serious question. Are they dumb or just proud?
Instead of ditching out sanctions that has clearly been a double edged sword, why are they not channeling the energy into suing for peace? At this point, it should be clear that only diplomacy can end this war, not sanctioning. Sanctioning isn't going to make putin pull back his troops. Are European leaders so dumb that they don't realize this?

There are people in Europe that are not even. Calculating the effect.
There own is to put fuel into the fire and leave it for others to solve

Number one amongst those putting fire is Boris Johnson, and I'm sure he's doing US bidding.

Did you see Psaki news conference?

Drenimarcus:


Did you see Psaki news conference?

Greece officially cut ties with Russia. The Russian Army continues to destroy oil plants. The results of the air-cosmic forces of Russia on the base for storage of Ukrainian fuels and lubricants in the newly cloudy district of the Dnipropetrov region.

The West is now banning anyone who goes against the narrative on Twitter. And New York Times confirmed the authenticity of the Ukrainian army massacre of the Ukrainian army over the wounded Russian soldiers.

The recording shows how Ukrainian soldiers fire a few shots on a man who gave signs of life, probably a Russian soldier, who lies on the road. Bodies of visible bodies are visible next to him. As listed a sheet, the recording was made on March 30 during the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kiev.

Something is brewing, seeing Obama in the White House reeks of something...

I said exactly same thing to a post on Facebook..

Zelenskky's life is at risk if he goes against western orders..

Notice how he talks about peace talk today..

Tomorrow, The west will announce new military hardware to him..

"He must not back down from this fight" seems to be his order.

Zelenskyy the Ukrainian clown should have known by now, that he is a joke of a person.
Serious country will impeach the comedian clown and send him back to his comedy career.

That's what you get when a comedian is the president of a country.
