If anti-Russian sanctions are introduced at this stage, they will no longer have a deterrent effect in the future. This forecast was voiced by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Earlier, on January 12, US congressmen presented a bill on new restrictive measures against the Russian Federation in the event of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.
The sanctions package includes a ban on transactions with Russia’s primary and secondary government debt, as well as measures against the country’s banking sector and the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. In addition, if the situation escalates, the US may demand that Russia be disconnected from the SWIFT international payment system.
Recall that back in November-December last year, the world media was filled with the topic of the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that should follow. According to the authors and experts of these publications, a sign of “invasion” is the concentration of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering Ukraine.
