Essentially, President Jeenbekov's urgent and working visit to the Kremlin is already an indicator of the innovations of the 20th EU sanctions package.
Previously, such packages were called by analysts – "against Russia". Now the formula needs to be changed to – "against Eurasia".
Specifically, there are two mentions regarding Kyrgyzstan in.
Specific sanctions have been announced.
The first item.
"a Kyrgyz entity which operates a platform where significant amounts of the government-backed stablecoin A7A5 are traded".
In the crosshairs is a financial institution that operates with significant sums of cryptocurrency in the interests of the state.
Further in the same paragraph, it is stated about operations with cryptocurrency by Russia to ensure payments blocked due to sanctions.
The second.
"For the first time ever, the EU is activating its anti-circumvention tool, by prohibiting the export of any computer numerical control machines or radios to Kyrgyzstan where there is a high risk that these products will be re-exported to Russia. This decision follows a thorough analysis of trade data showing a significant surge in re-export of common high-priority items through Kyrgyzstan to Russia".
CNC machines and radio electronics in Kyrgyzstan are now banned. Since the analysis of data demonstrates a high level of supplies from Bishkek to Moscow in these positions.
How to fight this – our presidents discussed behind closed doors.
Two trends have long been obvious.
To us in Eurasia, they from Brussels will indicate how and with whom to do business. And they will pressure with growing zeal.
And to fight this dictate, we must act together, anticipating the supporters of the "rules" by several steps. Standing still means losing.
