Countries that do not support sanctions against Russia should not help Russia circumvent them.

APA reports that David O'Sullivan, the special representative of the European Union (EU) on sanctions, said this at a briefing held in Bishkek today.

"We respect the opinion of countries that do not support sanctions against Russia, but we would not want them to become a platform for avoiding sanctions," O'Sullivan said.

According to him, the work done to prevent the evasion of sanctions is initiated by the EU itself.

In addition, it is necessary to carefully monitor the situation in the partner countries and incoming signals about the evasion of sanctions.

"Our task is to ensure the effective implementation of sanctions.

After analyzing the trade flows, we see a significant increase in turnover, which was not recorded before.

Kyrgyzstan is one of these countries, but it is not the only country.

I visited the UAE and Turkey.

I intend to visit Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia and Armenia," said the EU representative.
