Informant: EU May Impose Further Restrictions on Russia's Cryptocurrency Exchange Platforms, Payment, and Credit Card Systems

BlockBeats News, September 8th, the European Union is considering imposing new sanctions on about six Russian banks and energy companies as part of the latest round of pressure on Russia to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The plan would be the 19th round of sanctions imposed by the EU since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022.

Insiders say the EU may also target Russia's payment and credit card systems, cryptocurrency exchanges, and impose further restrictions on the country's oil trade. Insiders suggest that the EU hopes to coordinate its latest measures with the United States. A delegation of EU officials will travel to Washington this week to meet with U.S. officials to discuss the possibility of taking joint action. (ChainNews)
