Medvedev proposes retaliatory EU export tariffs

In response to Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas's proposal for EU tariffs on Russian goods to fund Ukraine's reconstruction, Russian Security Council Deputy Chair Dmitry Medvedev has detailed a retaliatory plan. He proposes that Russia introduce its own export tariffs on goods destined for the European Union. The revenue generated from these tariffs would be specifically directed to finance the Russian military-industrial complex. This move represents a significant escalation in the economic dimension of the Russia-West conflict over Ukraine.
