Political scientist Tkachenko suggested that the 16th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation will be the last.

He noted that the restrictions on Russia are unpleasant, but they do not possess destructive power. "I think that for the European Union, the lesson of the first stage will be the fact that maybe the 16th round of sanctions will be the last, and then they will learn to lift sanctions quietly, silently, simply because sanctions harm their own economy. <...> Apparently, a new generation of leaders in Europe, in individual countries, maybe even in the European Commission, should come to understand this feeble technique," Tkachenko said. On February 24, the EU approved the 16th package of sanctions against Russia. The new package includes 48 individuals from Russia and 35 Russian legal entities, as well as a ban on the import of primary aluminum. The press secretary of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists that the new package of anti-Russian sanctions was quite predictable. Meanwhile, the head of EU diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, stated at a press conference following the EU Council meeting in Brussels that work on the 17th package of anti-Russian sanctions will continue.
