The EU is working on the 14th package of anti-Russian sanctions – 2024-04-23 02:39:47

The European Union is developing the 14th package of anti-Russian sanctions, which will be directed against those who circumvent the current restrictive measures against the Russian Federation.

As Day.Az reports with reference to TASS, a high-ranking EU representative told reporters in Brussels.

“We are currently working on the 14th package of sanctions against Russia. It will be aimed at combating circumvention of restrictions and will include sanctions against those who are already circumventing them,” he said.

The European diplomat could not say when exactly the next sanctions package would be introduced.

Earlier, First Deputy Head of the EC Valdis Dombrovskis said that the European Union is finding it difficult to negotiate the 14th package of sanctions against Russia; most likely, it will not contain new restrictions, but only provisions aimed at countering Russian measures to overcome the sanctions blockade.

The EC began developing the 14th package of sanctions against Russia immediately after the adoption of the 13th package, which was approved on February 23. The measures affected 106 individuals and 88 legal entities from the Russian Federation and a number of other countries, including India, Kazakhstan, China, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Sri Lanka.

“It is very worrying for us to see that these people, unlike before in terms of vehicle thefts, are much more violent,” worries Yves Francoeur, president of the Brotherhood of Police Officers of Montreal.

He is referring, among other things, to last Wednesday, when a police officer hit three times a car thief who allegedly drove straight towards him.

Then, in the heart of downtown, this weekend, an officer who was trying to intercept the driver of a possibly stolen BMW came very close to being hit by the suspect’s car, even though he was he held him at gunpoint with his service weapon.

Then in the middle of an interview with The newspaper, Monday, a message appeared on Yves Francoeur’s cell phone: another criminal allegedly drove towards the police in Dorval, in the west of the metropolis.

The case began when patrol officers found a vehicle reported stolen. A suspect was preparing to take it and an accomplice was waiting for him in another car, according to the Montreal City Police Service (SPVM).

The list is growing

Officers managed to nab the first suspect, aged 19, after a short foot chase.

The second fled at the wheel of a BMW and hit a patrol car in the process. Under the force of the impact, she hit and injured a police officer who was standing nearby.

“This is our ninth event in the last two months [où un voleur de véhicule fonce sur les policiers], underlined Mr. Francoeur. We are monitoring the situation closely.”

In the time it took to tell it, history had repeated itself two other times, including a little earlier in the day, in the district of Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles.

Passengers in their twenties crashed their reported stolen car into a patrol car that was blocking their path. They then abandoned him and fled.

The tumultuous day of the Montreal bloodhounds ended with a new collision in the Rosemont district.

The driver of a Honda CR-V without a license plate who was committing multiple violations of the Highway Safety Code allegedly targeted an SPVM car. No injuries were reported.

The criminal then took off. It could be another case of vehicle theft, mentions the SPVM.

More training

“It’s going to happen again,” warned Stéphane Wall, retired SPVM supervisor specializing in the judicious use of force. There is really a resurgence.”

He believes more tools will need to be provided to officers to rein in crazy drivers.

“I think that in the coming years, we will have to develop immobilization techniques for criminals like this who are still very dangerous,” summarizes Mr. Wall.

“We had already told the SPVM management that there was a need for better training in terms of working methods,” argued, for his part, Yves Francoeur.
