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.
According to RIA Novosti, a US administration official told reporters that the current fall of the ruble “reflects the significance of the economic sanctions that we are ready to impose.”
Against the backdrop of aggravated geopolitical risks around the situation with Ukraine, the ruble continued to fall on Monday, which has been observed over the past few days: the dollar rose above 79 rubles, and the euro – above 89 rubles.
Washington recalled that in 2014, after Western sanctions, the ruble fell by 50%, and the Central Bank spent 25% of its reserves to support it.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Bild newspaper, citing its sources, reported that the United States offered its allies anti-Russian sanctions that 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.
