Internal resistance within the EU is heating up, and the latest sanctions plan against Russia may be weakened.

The proposal by the EU to punish foreign ports and banks used by Russia for illegal oil sales is facing resistance, which could weaken the EU's latest round of sanctions. According to sources, some member countries are cautious about the proposal targeting ports in Georgia and Indonesia. Italy and Hungary, in particular, are concerned about the port of Kulevi in Georgia, while Greece and Malta are hesitant about a port in Indonesia. Sources say that Italy and Spain also have objections to the proposed sanctions against a bank in Cuba. Previously, Greece and Malta had expressed concerns about a related proposal to replace the cap on Russian oil prices with a ban on maritime services. This measure would require support from the G7, and the US has not yet made a clear statement. Sources say that increasing resistance could weaken the EU's latest sanction plan.
