The politician answered in the affirmative to the question of journalists from the Polish Press Agency about whether the European Parliament work on the seventh package of anti-Russian sanctions. “Sanctions should be even sharper: in the context of gas, which Russia can still sell, in the context of disconnecting all Russian banks from the SWIFT system. Here I am talking primarily about “Gazprombank”,” he clarified.
