The Russian leadership has a plan of action in case the US imposes a ban on Russian banks to carry out a number of operations in dollars. This was stated by the press secretary of the President Dmitry Peskov, RIA Novosti reports.

“There are plans, plans to hedge risks and minimize the consequences of such unpredictable actions,” Peskov said, commenting on Washington’s statements about a possible blocking of banking transactions with dollars in the event of an escalation in the situation around Ukraine.

The Kremlin expressed concern about the “unpredictable behavior of the US sanctions” Politics

В начале декабря агентство Bloomberg со ссылкой на администрацию президента США писало о возможности введения ограничений на конвертацию рубля в доллар, евро и британский фунт в качестве потенциального наказания, если Россия вторгнется на Украину. Позднее, 20 января, президент США Джо Байден заявил, что в случае нападения Москва столкнется с жесткими экономическими последствиями, в том числе ее банки не смогут проводить операции с долларами.

В середине января сенат США опубликовал проект подготовленного демократами нового пакета санкций против России. В частности, сенаторы предлагают президенту ввести санкции против как минимум трех организаций из следующего перечня: Сбербанк, ВТБ, Газпромбанк, ВЭБ, РФПИ, МКБ, Альфа-банк, Россельхозбанк, «Открытие», Промсвязьбанк, Совкомбанк, Транскапиталбанк.
