Russia from invasion of Ukraine can only be contained by “unprecedented sanctions”. On this issue, the West must be united.
This was stated by the American politician, chairman of the intelligence committee of the House of Representatives of the Congress Adam Schiff on the air of the CBS television channel Face the Nation, writes Тһе Guardian.
“I think that in order to contain what seems very likely – the Russian invasion of Ukraine, huge sanctions against Russia will be needed again. And I believe that our allies should be convinced of this. Russia should understand that we are in this united, “Schiff mused about what would prevent Putin from ordering an attack by Russian troops gathered near the Ukrainian border.
At the same time, he noted that he still does not understand the full motivation of the president of the aggressor country (Vladimir Putin – UNIAN). However, the American politician stressed that “nothing more than the level of sanctions that Russia has never seen will deter Putin. And this is exactly what the United States needs to do together with its allies.”
Earlier, the Financial Times (FT), citing analysts, named two scenarios a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Aggravation on the border of Ukraine and the Russian Federation
On November 11, Bloomberg published an article discussing the risks of a full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine. The agency noted that in the circles of American and European diplomats, they are seriously worried about the current movement of Russian troops towards the Ukrainian border.
Moscow itself denies this, calling the autumn redeployment of troops a “show of force.”
In early November, information began to appear in the Western media with reference to satellite imagery data about the active movement of the Russian military to the border with Ukraine.
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine denied this information.
This is the second likely wave of aggravation on the Russian-Ukrainian border since March 2021. However, as Bloomberg writes, so far the concentration of Russian troops takes place mainly at night, while in the spring the Kremlin openly threatened an offensive, exerting political pressure on Ukraine, the EU and the United States.
