Russia will be cut off from financial markets in the event of a new invasion of Ukraine – the head of the EU

Moscow’s access to financial markets and high-tech goods will be limited by Western sanctions, which are being prepared in the event of a Russian attack on Ukraine, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Saturday. This was reported by AR, writes “UNN”.

The comment of Ursula von der Leyen, the chairman of the EU executive commission, was made in connection with the growing tension of Russia’s intentions towards Ukraine. US President Joe Biden said on Friday that he was convinced that Russian President Vladimir Putin had decided to invade the neighboring country.

“The Kremlin’s dangerous thinking, which stems directly from the dark past, could cost Russia a prosperous future,” von der Leyen said during the annual Munich Security Conference.

According to von der Leyen, the EU executive has developed a “reliable and comprehensive package” of possible financial sanctions against Russia, along with the United States, Britain and Canada.

“In the event of a Russian strike, we will restrict access to financial markets for the Russian economy and (introduce) export controls that will prevent Russia from modernizing and diversifying its economy. We have a lot of high-tech products where we have global dominance, which are absolutely necessary for Russia and cannot be easily replaced, “she added.
