| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin [ColonelCassad] Biden announced the list of sanctions against the Russian Federation: 1. The US will impose sanctions against the sovereign debt of the Russian Federation. 2. The US will impose sanctions against Vnesheconombank and Promsvyazbank. 3. The US will continue negotiations with Germany to block Nord Stream 2. 4. The US will impose sanctions against certain representatives of the Russian elites. 5. The US will continue to build up its troops in Eastern Europe if Russia does not withdraw troops from Belarus. 6. The US will protect every inch of NATO territory. But not Ukraine. It will only continue to receive military assistance. 7. The US will impose even more powerful sanctions if Russia continues to seize Ukraine. 8. The US admits that sanctions against Russia will hit the US economy, but the Biden administration will support it. After reading a list of sluggish sanctions, Biden disappeared behind the scenes to the bewildered cries of journalists demanding answers. Against this background, the ruble immediately went up. Somewhat earlier, the EU announced sanctions: 1. Russian elites will not be allowed to shop in Milan, hold parties in Saint-Tropez and buy diamonds in Antwerp. The funniest sentence of the year. Thanks to Josep Borell. You give more such sanctions. 2. The EU will impose personal sanctions against State Duma deputies who voted for the recognition of the DPR and LPR. 3. The EU will introduce personal sanctions against persons associated with the activities of the LPR and DPR. 4. The EU will prepare a package of sanctions against a number of Russian banks and individuals. 5. It is also worth noting that Britain has imposed sanctions against 5 Russian banks, as well as against Timchenko and Rottenberg. Moscow says that Western sanctions were expected and predictable. In general, this whole sanctions story continues to hammer nails into the coffin of Russian Westernism in the most excellent way. The trip to the golden billion and Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok is over. The problem is that many people who carried out a 30-year experiment on the country with a trip to the West "along the high road of civilization" have not gone away. And if the majority of the country's population only laughs at jokes about Milan and Saint-Tropez, then for certain representatives of the Russian elites this is really a definite fat point in an ideological catastrophe. |
