The possibility of imposing sanctions against the largest EU Russians and The US is considering banks and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). According to Bloomberg, this will happen if Russia “attacks” Ukraine.
This release was announced by a source familiar with the discussion of this issue. According to him, restrictions on the conversion of rubles into US dollars and other foreign currencies, including euros and pounds sterling, are being considered.
The West has also begun thinking about restricting investors' ability to buy Russian debt securities on the secondary market.
As Bloomberg noted, the most radical option would be for Russia to deny access to the SWIFT financial payment system. But in the West, they understand that it would harm ordinary citizens of the Russian Federation. European and American officials have so far decided to take advantage of Russia's ability to convert the ruble into currency.
