The adviser to the head of OP believes that trade with Russia is the financing of a terrorist regime, so steps to stop cooperation should be as radical as possible. The Allies must make a full export blockade of Russia, as the terrorist country does not give up its aggressive policy on Ukraine. About it today, April 20, said adviser to the chairman of the OP Mikhail Podolyak. Podolyak emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin is the leader of this "group" and was wanted for war crimes.

"Any trade relations with Russia are now the support of a terrorist group whose leader is wanted as an international criminal for war crimes and genocide against the population of Ukraine,"-said the adviser to the chairman of the OP Podolyak. We will remind, today April 20 Bloomberg wrote that the US and some other allies are considering the possibility of almost complete stopping of export to Russia. G7 officials discuss this idea on the eve of the leaders' summit in Japan in May.

All exports are now allowed if the products do not fall under sanctions.
