Western countries are considering various options for sanctions against Russia, which will be introduced in the event of “aggression against Ukraine.” These options include the ability to disconnect SWIFT payments from the international banking system, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said on the air of CNBC.
Kuleba said that this is mainly about economic sanctions – restricting trade and investment in Russia, imposing restrictions on the country’s sovereign debt, and restricting banking operations. “And of course, [обсуждается] The “nuclear option” that is causing the greatest debate is disconnecting Russia from the SWIFT system, ”he added.
At the same time, the diplomat admitted that he was not aware of the full content of the discussed package of sanctions.
We will remind, recently in the media and political circles discussed the alleged “invasion” of Ukraine and the issue of sanctions that should follow this. According to the authors and experts of various publications, a sign of preparation for the “attack” is the concentration of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering on Ukraine. Possible sanctions include the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, restrictions against Russian energy companies and disconnection from the SWIFT banking system.
