The European Union has taken another step towards the creation of extra-legal mechanisms of pressure on undesirable countries. So commented the professor of the Department of Comparative Political Science, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, RUDN University Yury Pochta, the EU decision on a new regime of imposing sanctions for the creation and use of chemical weapons. According to the expert, the actions of the EU break down the entire established system of international relations.. "There is an Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), there are mechanisms for discussion in the UN Security Council - it is thrown away as a big conditional West is not suitable," the Post said in an interview with RT. He explained that the EU secured the right to punish organizations, enterprises, people or countries, if they consider them to be involved in the creation or use of chemical weapons. And do it on the basis of fake news and messages in social networks. "We see in examples from Syria, using the example of the Violin history, that no investigation is carried out to the end, no convincing evidence is presented.

An information campaign is being conducted - a kind of history is being created, a myth about an attack using chemical weapons.

One fake informational message is supplemented by another, their flow does not stop, "the expert explained the principles for activating the new sanctions regime. In his opinion, this leads to "degradation of the system of international relations and economy". Earlier, EU foreign ministers approved a new mechanism for imposing sanctions for the use and creation of chemical weapons.
