The US government announced sanctions against the Russian Federation, according to which US banks will be banned from processing transactions of large Russian credit institutions. According to Reuters, this is a "preliminary" package of sanctions that the United States is going to impose if Russia invades Ukraine.

These measures are aimed at harming the Russian economy by breaking the "correspondent" relations between the banks of the parties, which is the basis of global cash flows.

In addition, Washington wants to impose restrictions on a number of Russian individuals and companies, including them on a black list that excludes them from the banking system.

Earlier, we note, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the West intends to impose regular economic sanctions against Russia, since the economy is “the weakest point” of the Russian Federation. Thus, the country is planned to be cut off from international financial markets. But whether it is about the SWIFT system, the politician did not answer.

It's worth reminding that on February 19, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about the need to introduce new sanctions against Russia now, and not wait until Moscow “starts bombing.” He also threatened to reconsider the renunciation of nuclear weapons. At the same time, State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin wrote on his Telegram channel on the night of February 19 that Zelensky was "provoking the start of a big war".
