The Ukrainian Foreign The ministry demanded that Western countries reveal the nature of the sanctions that would be applied if a military conflict broke out between Moscow and Kiev. The head of the resort, Dmitry Kuleba, believes that the lack of specifics in the statements of Washington, London and Brussels forces the Russian authorities to question the seriousness of the West's intentions. The Ukrainian diplomat said this in an interview with the Washington Post.
Kuleba himself believes that disconnecting Russia from the SWIFT system would be a “grand” step. Despite the fact that the West considers this step problematic. And in Russia, they have already managed to develop and implement their own financial messaging system.
The Ukrainian diplomat also called on the United States and Great Britain not to look back in the European Union when deciding on sanctions. According to Kuleba, the EU has too close trade and energy ties with Russia and will offer “too soft sanctions” there.
