Eve here. We may feature posts by Simon Watkins, a neocon neko. Readers find it beneficial to choose his different things Abusive words Declaration about our favourite enemies of the West: Iran, China, and today’s offerings, Russia.
It appears that Watkins has not gotten a memo that Ukrainian attacks on bombers, part of the Russian nuclear triad, are Russian and US nuclear doctrines, equivalent to the first nuclear strike. It has been revealed that Ukraine reserves the right to take action that puts its sponsors at risk. The US may tolerate that for Israel, which has a chalk chain in Congress. However, Ukraine, despite all the coverage, has not come close to its status.
Many who closely follow the conflict in Ukraine will probably speculate. These killer sanctions are second-order sanctions more than anything in China and India, as they target Russian oil and gas buyers. Alexander Mercaris goes through the timeline of Trump’s remarks, claiming that his chat Xi Jinpeng, and that he ultimately convinced Trump to start cutting two bipartisan senators into his arms. Politico also explained how these sanctions cause a lot of collateral damage, Even if there are sculptures for Ukrainian allies.
Certainly, Watkins shows climbing from an extreme sanctions proposal. This implementation feature in the following post is noteworthy.
In Europe, further steps will be taken to enhance surveillance of the Financial Message Transfer (SPF), which was established to serve as an alternative to the international rapid payment system, according to a senior source for EU energy security facilities recently spoken by owrprice.com. In its previous 16th sanctions package, the EU banned all SPFS transactions occurring outside Russia itself, imposing multiple sanctions on neighbouring Belarus as a broader signal to Russian allies and potential allies.
Do readers have more information about what previously and planned EU surveillance of SPFS exists?

- Trump is preparing new sanctions against Russia.
- Sanctions may include targets from Moscow’s shadow oil fleet, LNG projects and energy-related companies.
- The US “Russia Sanctions Act 2025” reflects the EU’s efforts and proposes both major and secondary sanctions to punish global entities supporting Russia’s trade.
Whatever other qualities US President Donald Trump may or may not have, it is not said that the long and patient range of attention is one of them. In the 2023 and 2024 presidential elections, he said many times that he told him to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of returning to the White House, or earlier than that.
It didn’t happen, but he has put a considerable amount of effort into working with many senior colleagues. That’s why Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin is even more upset that he hasn’t played his role in the lasting ceasefire. As a result, senior Washington-based legal sources who work closely with the White House spoke exclusively. owrprice.com Last week, the presidential administration said it was “close now than ever” to imposing at least some “catastrophic measures” on Russia, which Trump recently mentioned.
An important point to note is that while the sanctions elements of these measures can be imposed independently by the US at any time, Washington sources say they are in fact likely to complement the new sanctions being deployed by the European Union. Recently announced 17th The EU, a package of sanctions against Moscow, focuses in part on narrowing down Russia’s energy exports by increasing the number of Shadow Fleet ships that continue to transport oil to avoid existing bans. Specifically, the EU added 189 tankers to its previous vessel list, bringing the total number of blacklisted vessels to 342.
Another part of the EU’s focus was on the rise in sanctions against companies related to this activity, such as Russian tanker company Volga Shipping, insurance company VSK, and various shadow tanker operators in the UAE, Turkey and Hong Kong. The UK no longer followed the same model, but first approved more oil tankers in the Russian Shadow Fleet, and the second approved more companies associated with its activities.
According to Washington sources, with at least partial obligations for these measures, the new US sanctions include additional targeting of vessels in Russia’s shadow fleet and businesses associated with its trade. “The number of approved vessels will increase significantly, and the number associated will increase as well. [Russian] Last week, one of the Washington-based sources mentioned one of the Washington-based sources last week.
Specifically, the day before the August 24th anniversary of Ukraine’s Declaration of Independence in 1991, the US Treasury Department and state departments expanded their sanctions-related designations for individuals, businesses, projects, transactions and delivery mechanisms. This reflects previous comments from the US Secretary of State for U.S. Energy Resources. Tighten the screws [on Russia’s major LNG sector projects, including the cornerstone Arctic LNG 2 project]. ”
Interestingly, these moves of LNG followed similar initiatives, such as those made in Europe before, in terms of acting in a coordinated way that is progressing in the EU. Specifically, the EU has agreed to 15.th Furthermore, sanctions packages against Russia that will disable it, and the ability to move LNG through the shadow fleet of associated tankers and sanction affiliates. As a result, new shipping sanctions have significantly expanded the list of approved entities not only in Russia, but also in Russia’s third-party countries and organizations, which have indirectly contributed to avoiding export restrictions in Moscow’s military and technological strengthening.
At the same time, subsidized EU sanctions were introduced along with further ban on the import of Russian LNG that is not connected to the EU gas pipeline network to ban the transport of Russian LNG through EU ports. All these moves are ultimately being prepared to end Russia’s fossil fuel imports to the EU and non-EU European countries in 2027.
That said, more will come from both the US and Europe. Again, some important measures are similar. In Europe, further steps will be taken to enhance surveillance of the Financial Message Transfer (SPF), which was established to serve as an alternative to the international rapid payment system, according to a senior source for EU energy security facilities recently spoken by owrprice.com. In the previous 16th In the sanctions package, the EU imposed a ban on all SPFS transactions occurring outside Russia itself, imposing multiple sanctions on neighbouring Belarus as a broader signal to Russian allies and potential allies.
Additionally, the EU will focus on the potential for a reduction in the current price cap of 60 US$ (PB) per barrel on Russian oil. Premium products closes at USD 100, while discounted products cost £45. President Trump has always been reluctant to do the same and fears it could threaten parts of the US oil industry, but sources in Washington say he is not very opposed to the idea right now. In the following sanctions package, the EU is also considering expanding sanctions related to gas pipelines, banks, payment networks and mechanisms not only directly related to Russia, but also in any way related to it.
There are several similar elements in the 2025 Sanctions Act, sponsored by Democrats, Richard Blumental, whose Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Democrat Richard Blumental, are currently passing the US legislative process. It aims to end the Moscow war with Ukraine, which involves major sanctions, but uses secondary sanctions to slap penalties against countries, businesses and individuals around the world who do business with the covered entities. Although major sanctions have been imposed on multiple Russian banks and reflected in EU sanctions in the same institution, secondary sanctions are imposed on countries, businesses and individuals around the world who do business with their target entities.
Many of these measures are also linked to dramatic increase in surveillance by the EU. This is very clearly seen on June 6th of the EU Roadmap It features significantly improved mechanisms to improve transparency, surveillance and traceability of Russian gas and oil across the EU market in order to completely eliminate Russian energy imports by the end of 2027. New contracts with Russian gas suppliers will be prevented and spot contracts will be suspended by the end of this year.
Another portion will increasingly limit new supply contracts co-signed by the Euratom Supply Agency for uranium, enriched uranium, and other nuclear materials derived from Russia. The US “Russia Sanctions Act 2025” also reflects this policy, with Washington saying that “it threatens at least 500% tariffs on imports from countries that intentionally sell, supply, transport or purchase oil, natural gas, petroleum products or petrochemicals generated in the Russian Federation. According to Washington sources, there are currently two objectives for these sanctions. First, considering that it will end the war in Ukraine at once and erase the idea that it can win further conflicts in Europe in Putin’s head, it is not surprising.
