 EEU PMs to discuss sanctions, as well as common financial, oil and gas markets

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will hold today the 15th session of the Eurasian Inter-Governmental Council in Minsk.

First deputy head of the Russian government office Sergei Prikhodko said that the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) will find effective mechanisms of protection from anti-Russian sanctions that affect other member states of the association.

Prikhodko said that the Russian government hopes that all issues pertaining to forming the common oil and gas market in the EEU will be resolved soon.

"One of the main spheres of integrational cooperation of the five countries in energy is forming a common market for oil and oil products, as well as gas. This topic has already become traditional at meetings of heads of government," he added. "We hope that soon no such questions will be left up for discussion," TASS cited him as saying.

Talking about the agenda for the upcoming session, the first deputy head of the Russian government office said that heads of government of EEU member states will discuss financial market concepts. "It should start functioning from 2025, but we are already working on preparing necessary documentation," he added.

Prikhodko also said that "the problem of how anti-Russian sanctions impact Russia's economy and consequently other member states of the Union is in the center of attention."
