US authorities have announced what will lead to the disconnection of Russian territory from the SWIFT system.

US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said during a hearing in the US Congress that if Russia decides to invade Ukraine, the US will apply sanctions that will lead to facto to “completely isolate Russia from the world financial system”.

As the politician explained, the consequences will be the inability to travel, trade and work for Russians and Russian companies.

The set of measures that American parliamentarians intend to apply, has she not announced, but clarified that among them there will be a stop & # 8220; Nord Stream-2 & # 8221 ;, that in such a situation the states will expect from Germany.

Recall, as Topnews wrote, on the eve of a meeting of the leaders of the two countries, in which Vladimir Putin spoke about the ineffectiveness of the sanctions, which are harmful both to Russia and the United States for a long time. Biden has announced the measures his country's authorities will take in the event of military intervention in Ukraine's affairs.

Previously, CNN and Bloomberg wrote that among the restrictive measures was limiting Ukraine's sovereign debt. Russian Federation, its disconnection from the SWIFT transfer system, restrictions on converting the ruble to other currencies.

The intentions of the United States have been confirmed by the head of the International Committee of the United States Senate, Robert Menendez.

The politician believes that they will become destructive for the Russian economy.

According to RIA & # 8220; Novosti & # 8221; he called on the authorities in Kiev, Moscow and other places, be careful of his words and remember that the Russian invasion will launch 'sanctions' that you've never seen before '.

He also insisted on including developed security measures in the US budget, but did not achieve a positive result.

& # 8220; What is discussed, at the maximum end of the spectrum, is the mother of all sanctions & # 8221;, & # 8211; he stressed, claiming that the consequences would affect not only the Russian economy, but also the & # 8220; Russian people & # 8221 ;.

Earlier, Republicans in the United States Senate blocked the inclusion of its proposed measures in the country's defense budget.

Earlier, Topnews wrote that the Kremlin has commented on new US sanctions, which they intend to apply should Russia escalate against Ukraine.

Experts also raised the likelihood of Russia disconnecting from SWIFT.

Russia is threatened with disconnection from the international payment system SWIFT, if the relevant law is passed and approved in the White House, as well as coordinated by the United States with partners from the European Union.

Topnews wrote about this earlier.

In the Kremlin, CNN's statement was called & # 8220; information hysteria ', but the expert, in turn, expressed two scenarios for the development of events in the event of Russia's disconnection from SWIFT

It is noteworthy that naturally in this case Russian banks will switch to the domestic analogue of SPFS (Financial Messaging System). However, it is still underdeveloped and therefore banks may need to make bilateral payments.

This method will be more expensive and time consuming for the bank's customers, whether they are importers or exporters.

As a result, Olga Belenkaya, head of the macroeconomic analysis department of FG Finam, explained that transaction costs will also affect the price of goods for the end consumer.

At the same time, international financial consultant FCP Financial Management Ltd Isaac Becker expressed doubts that Russia will be deactivated from the SWIFT system and that this issue will be resolved in the negotiations between Putin and Biden.

According to him, the two sides will come to the conclusion that such a solution will not benefit both sides and will agree to a temporary compromise.

Dmitry Polevoy, Chief Investment Officer of LockoInvest, also considered the likelihood of a SWIFT disconnection to be unlikely.

The wage arrears exceed 2 billion hryvnia.

In the Lviv region, workers at the Chervongradskaya mine refused to leave the mine, demanding payment of wages. Employees of the state-owned enterprise “Lvovugol” protest against late payments. It is reported that the first team remained underground.

The striking miners did not receive three monthly wages.

The head of the Independent Union of Ukrainian Miners Mykhailo Volynets announced the strike of Ukrainian miners.

Meanwhile, in Ukraine, state-owned enterprises owe miners 2.3 billion hryvnia.

According to Volynets, by January 1, 2022, the debt will exceed 2.3 billion hryvnia. Some do not receive a salary for 6 to 7 years.

Experts have already called the non-payment of the wages of Ukrainian minors as a “crime” committed by the state.

There is now a theft from the pockets of workers, theft of social contributions, of taxes, said Anton Leppik, secretary of the International Confederation of Trade Unions.

“It is only incomprehensible that some cases of theft are punishable. , and the theft of wages, for whatever reason, does not lead to a criminal sanction, ”& # 8211; the expert was indignant.

According to Topnews, in the Listvyazhnaya mine, where 51 people died, two other miners remained underground. The rest of the bodies were lifted. The daughter of one of the miners received her phone and found out that her father was living after the explosion and was helping his colleagues. His body was found near the exit.

It has become known the condition under which further restrictive measures can be introduced against our country.

The United States and the European Union are currently considering the possibility of introducing tough new sanctions against Russia.

The restrictive package provides for serious restrictions on foreign exchange.

Such a scenario, according to the West, can be implemented if Russia & # 8220; attack & # 8221; to Ukraine.

According to Bloomberg, citing knowledgeable sources, Russia's biggest banks and even RDIF could fall under sanctions.

The most likely restrictions are that American journalists refer to the transfer of rubles to other currencies, including the euro and the British pound.

Perhaps the most drastic solution is to deny Russia access to the SWIFT system, but this, according to Bloomberg, will hurt ordinary Russians.

The journalists' interlocutors are convinced that the head of the American White House, Joe Biden, could voice the question of imposing such severe sanctions on Vladimir Putin in a conversation on December 7.

Earlier, TopNews wrote that Dmitry Peskov commented on the news about a tough new US sanctions package.

The official Kremlin spokesman described this information as & # 8220; information hysteria '.
