The essence of the US sanctions being prepared against Russia is constantly changing, but it is too early to talk about a ban on US banks from processing transactions of large Russian banks. This, according to TASS, was stated by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.
“No, it is extremely difficult to comment on a decision that has not yet been made and a document that has not been published. The fact that not only today, not only the day before, but the fact that Washington is constantly working on the preparation of new and new sanctions against Russia – we know this, ”he commented on media reports about the ban on such transactions.
According to Peskov, “the specific substantive content of these sanctions is constantly changing from day to day.”
Earlier, Reuters, citing sources, said that the administration of US President Joe Biden had prepared a preliminary package of sanctions against Russia, including a ban on US banks from processing transactions for large Russian banks. The publication notes that the restrictions are provided for in the event of an “invasion” of Russia into the territory of Ukraine. These measures are designed to harm the Russian economy by breaking the “correspondent” relations between the banks of the parties, which form the basis of global cash flows. In addition, sources say that Washington intends to use sanctions against certain Russian individuals and companies by placing them on a “black list” that will exclude them from the US banking system, prohibit trade with Americans and freeze their assets.
