EU embargo on Russia
In response to the Russian involvement in the conflict in Ukraine that started in early 2014, the EU imposed on 31 July 2014 sanctions against Russia, including an arms embargo, by adopting Council Decision 2014/512/CFSP, and Council Regulation (EU) No 833/2014.
The sanctions prohibit any involvement in the supply of arms and services related to military to Russia or dual use items for military use or military end-users in Russia by nationals of EU states or from the territories of EU states, unless contracts or agreements for such supplies had been concluded before 1 august 2014. The prohibition includes involvement in transport or financing of arms and dual use goods for military use for Russia. The prohibition includes the export of items that are to be subsequently re-exported from Russia to a third country.
In addition the import, purchase or transport of arms from Russia was prohibited, unless contracts or agreements had been concluded before 1 august 2014 and with the exception of items and services necessary for the maintenance of equipment already within the EU.
The embargo was initially in place until 31 July 2015, but has since been extended regularly. It is currently in place until 31 January 2022.

"Igor Ivanovich Strelkov
THE 24TH DAY OF THE WAR
"Drip! Drip! Drip!" - Like water from a leaky hanging basin, drop by drop the days are gone. Along with priceless time, lives and resources go nowhere. On the front there are local battles, except in Donbass, where the command wastes the last forces of the bleeding Donetsk and Luhansk infantry, repeatedly storming the Ukraine Army strongholds in Avdiivka and Marinka.
And now the systematic (after several days of street fighting) retreat of the enemy from Rubizhne to Severodonetsk becomes the only "major victory" in two days. Even the ultra-optimistic propagandist Podolyaka, who knows how to "suck victories out of his finger" on any occasion, stopped mentioning the "quick encirclement" of the Donetsk Ukraine Army groupings.
Russian troops are firmly "stuck" EVERYWHERE.
There is no mobilization. Yesterday the president did not even hint at the possibility of it. And without mobilization, victory over the so-called "Ukraine" is impossible "from the word go".
The AF of Ukraine, in spite of constant losses, will soon receive tens of thousands of mobilized troops, and within a couple of months their number will reach 2-3 hundred thousand. They will be given weapons by "dear Western partners" - in any quantity, including the most modern ones. They are already sending them.
The moment is not far off when the Ukrainian command, which has recovered from the first shock, will throw its troops into counterattacks in the most vulnerable (for our troops) directions.
And against this background, the vile smell of "new Minsk betrayal" is increasingly felt in the air. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Kremlin is no longer planning to fight to victory.
Except that there will be no "Minsk-3". A few more weeks of "standing" - and instead of a "mutually acceptable compromise" (to which the slimy Medinsky hints) - the "respected Ukrainian partners" will once again demand unconditional surrender from the Kremlin. That is: "withdraw troops, surrender Donbass, return Crimea", and then "pay and repent." TOTAL SILENCE.
And then the war will have to go on. In much more difficult conditions and with a much stronger opponent.
But in the meantime - "drip! drip! drip!" - the days are gone, the opportunities associated with the most invaluable resource (after human lives) - time - are gone.

The main reason why the Ukrainians still cause so much trouble for the Russians is that they get massive support, including mercenaries, top level anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems and a full spectrum of intelligence and radar support. Besides, the Ukraine is one of the strongest countries by size, population and military in Europe. If they would put up stiff resistance, especially by turning all their cities into fortresses which need to be levelled to conquer them with acceptable losses, it needs time, will cost a lot of destruction and lifes. But that's the strategy Selenski has chosen and Russia reacted the only reasonable way, under the given circumstances, to use the steamroller tactic, city by city, turning it into rubble with its superiour artillery.
And that's what we are seeing. The first Mariupol, which is practically gone for the Ukrainians, and the other "plugs" will be gone soon. As long as the Russians go on as they do, the Ukrainians will lose, slowly but steadily. When the Russians come closer to the Western border of the Ukraine, the chances for incidents with the NATO troops and especially the trigger happy neighbours, in particular Poland, might rise, as will the pressure by the maniac media in the USA to start an open war with Russia. Its incredibly how hateful, biased, completely one sided and aggressive the American media have become.
Not that here in Europe the more objective media are pro-Russian, not at all, but they at least try to be somewhat more objective and not pushing our states to a 3rd World War. When 60 something women in American breakfast TV talk about how "they want to attack Russia", and how to imprison "traitors" for speaking out the truth about the conflict and the consequences of a direct American military action, you know that they are close to falling off the cliff.
If Europe wouldn't be in between, I might even say "go forward and do your crap, you will regret it soon", but unfortuntely Europe, including my home, is between these trigger happy cowboys which want to conquer the world and the Russians which don't want the Yankees in their foregarden and that becomes increasingly unpleasant.
Another piece of hysterical Putinist propaganda.
Putin is a war criminal who started this war...oh sorry.."military operation".
litle putler troll... The master of your mind ... is Putin's terrorist psychopath!? He's not fit to take anything! He will only go into the darkness of history, being blasphemed by all.
I do not want to destroy Russia. Your demented russian putler master want...
(...)Putler! (...)
I don't think you're healthy. Are you just a robot running on a sick mind program?
What's your suggestion for ending this war and save lifes before it escalates to the next level?
Mine is negotiations and a peace agreement which gives Russia Crimea and ends the sanctions. As for Donbas, at least autonomy or Internationally accepted annexion, depending on the situation of the war.
What's your stance?
No peace before Russia crumbles?
Riverman I guess the biggest difference at least with me is that we have different axioma's. I'm reasoning that the Ukraine is an independent country. ...
