NYT learned details of new US sanctions against Russia over Ukraine – RBC

The administration of US President Joe Biden, together with allies, is preparing a new package of sanctions against Russia in the event of an “invasion” of Ukraine. Writes about this The New York Times (NYT) with reference to American officials.

According to them, the discussed restrictions will enter into force a few hours after the “invasion” of the Russian military in Ukraine. The NYT notes that officials first released the details of the sanctions package just ahead of a series of diplomatic talks between Russia and Western countries scheduled for next week.

The newspaper writes that in recent days the United States has discussed with its allies, including the disconnection of Russia’s largest financial institutions from international banking / payment systems, the imposition of an embargo on the export of American developments necessary for the defense and consumer industries, as well as a strategy for arming the Ukrainian rebels, which will lead “Partisan war” against Russian troops.

“Technological sanctions will affect some of the beloved [президентом России Владимиром] Putin to industries, especially aerospace and military, which are the main sources of income for the Russian government, “the newspaper writes.

The focus of the new sanctions, NYT says, will be on Russian-built fighters, anti-aircraft missile systems, anti-satellite systems, space systems and new technologies in which Russia hopes to be successful, such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
