On Monday evening, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said the United States was coordinating with Allies and expected to announce new sanctions on Russia on Tuesday, Thomson Reuters reported. She said Russia is clearly violating international law and Ukraine's sovereignty, and the United States and our Allies are united in calling on Russia to withdraw its troops and return to the diplomatic table.
White House officials revealed in late January that possible U.S. export controls would reduce Russia's ability to industrialize in several key industries, including aviation, shipping, robotics, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and defense.
Downing Street announced That Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold an emergency cabinet meeting at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday to discuss significant sanctions against Russia over President Vladimir Putin's deployment of so-called 'peacekeepers' into eastern Ukraine, the Mirror reported.
Johnson told the BBC on Sunday that Britain and the United States would impose unprecedented sanctions on Russia if it invaded Ukraine, including banning Russian companies from trading in pounds and dollars.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on February 19 that Brussels had already dispersed supplies of liquefied natural gas from around the world and could survive the winter even if Russia cut supplies altogether, POLITICO Europe reported.
Ms. Von der Leyen stressed that Europe should speed up the transition to sustainable energy because it was also a way of getting rid of Russian gas. Europe must diversify its suppliers and sources of energy, she said, and is stepping up investment in renewable energy that will boost its strategic energy independence.
Von der Leyen said February 19 that the European Union, home to many of the world's leading high-tech products, would impose export bans if Russia attacked its neighbors, the Associated Press reported. -
