❌ Myth: EU financial sanctions only apply on EU territory and these measures do not affect the ability of third countries to purchase from Russia if they wish.
✅ Fact: All EU sanctions restrictions, including on financial transactions apply, apart from EU territory,
Besides that, the SWIFT ban for ten Russian banks means in practice that they have been deprived of any chance of making normal international transactions with their foreign partners in over 200 countries that use the SWIFT system.
The EU also forces third countries into incorporating provisions on the EU Council’s anti-Russia sanctions into their legislation.

❌ Myth: The Russian operation in Ukraine has led to a significant drop in food, animal feed and fertiliser availability, significant price increases for food, energy and fertilisers, and has aggravated global food insecurity.
✅ Fact: Russia is not at fault for the current food security crisis. A sharp increase in prices on the commodities and raw materials markets began as early as 2020, causing concern in the EU even then, – long before current events. The reason lies in the EU’s own errors in its macroeconomic, energy, climate and food policies in recent years.
In trying to rebuild the world system of economic relations to its own advantage and impose its own rules, the EU fell into a trap created by its own ambitions. Under the circumstances, the West used Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine and Donbas as an excuse to conceal its own mistakes from the world public and its own citizens. The situation was made worse by the reckless anti-Russia sanctions.
