Bloomberg learned about the plan of sanctions against Russia with the restriction of currency exchange According to the agency, the West intends to impose sanctions

The United States and the European Union are considering imposing sanctions on major Russian banks and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) if RUSSIA “attacks” Ukraine. BLOOMBERG writes about this, citing sources familiar with the discussion of the issue.

According to agency sources, among the most likely restrictions may be the conversion of rubles into dollars and other foreign currencies, including euros and pounds sterling. In addition, the West may limit the ability of investors to buy Russian debt on the secondary market.

“The most radical option would be to ban Russia from accessing the SWIFT financial payment system, but this would harm ordinary citizens, so officials are more inclined to pursue the country’s ability to convert rubles into dollars, euros or British pounds,” the agency writes.

The interlocutors argue that the issue of imposing sanctions against banks and the RDIF , US President Joe Biden can present to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin during a conversation scheduled for December 7.
