This statement was made by the Polish Institute for International Studies because of the alleged “aggressive steps” of Moscow.
“In light of Russia’s aggressive steps directed against both the European Union and its neighboring territories, the EU must develop options for retaliatory measures in the event of further hostile actions by the Russian authorities,” the document says.
The Institute proposes to introduce restrictions in the banking and energy sectors.
Poland also insists on strengthening support for civil society in Russia through social media and diplomatic channels. The organization also offers the European Union to subsidize Russian media and NGOs.
