The United States is preparing against the Russian economy a one-time, rather than phased, imposition of sanctions in the event of an escalation of the situation around Ukraine. This was stated to journalists by a senior administration official.
“This time we will start at the very top and stay there,” the White House said.
According to the representative, the actions of the United States and the European Union may not be identical, the West is united in the intention to create large-scale consequences for Russia, to deliver an immediate powerful blow, to make its economy more fragile and to stifle Putin’s desire to influence on the world stage, ”said the official, whose words leads RIA Novosti.
He did not announce specific measures, but earlier on Tuesday, the Bild newspaper, citing its sources, reported that the United States had proposed anti-Russian sanctions to its allies, which could affect the export of raw materials and weapons from Russia. Possible damage to Russia could amount to more than $50 billion. It is also reported that the United States was assured in Berlin that in the event of an invasion of Ukraine, Nord Stream 2 would be blocked.
The White House warned that the financial sanctions that the United States intends to impose against Russia in the event of an aggravation of the situation in Ukraine will be heavier than in 2014.
