The Dutch government has issued 91 waivers from sanctions against Russia since the country invaded Ukraine late in February, RTL Nieuws reports after talking to the Ministries. The ministries shielded the names of the companies involved, the value of transactions which were exempted, and the business sectors concerned, RTL Nieuws reported.

    @yogthos this is a bit of fake news… there are certain companies or products that aren’t held to the sanctions (food, aluminium, bc needs must); mist countries have those exceptions. But there is no intention to lift sanctions in a broader sense

      The key is that they’re withdrawing these sanctions without EU giving the OK for doing so. These are also not just a few items, it’s 91 waivers. This is significant.

    I used to be jelly of the dutch for a specific reason. Now I’m jelly of the dutch for two specific reasons.

    If Europe in general keeps up the blockade, I have to change my name to ColdColdman because Norway is selling all the resources to Europe while we freeze. Reading about how much money the state makes doesn’t warm the heart.

    I hope, for the sake of the poor and cold - You know, those who tend to FREEZE TO DEATH IN THEIR OWN HOMES IN THE “FIRST” WORLD - that more European nations make decisions that is in the interest of the people and not the non-Russian gas companies.
