Sberbank holds nearly one-third of the overall Russian banking sector's assets "Full blocking sanctions" on VTB Bank, Russia second largest bank, and 20 of its subsidiaries. "Full blocking sanctions" on three other large Russia banks: Bank Otkritie, Sovcombank OJSC, and Novikombank. Cut off 13 major state-owned companies from raising money from the US market. The list include: Sberbank, AlfaBank, Credit Bank of Moscow, Gazprombank, Russian Agricultural Bank, Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, Transneft, Rostelecom, RusHydro, Alrosa, Sovcomflot, and Russian Railways. Sanctions on Russian elites and family members.

Spartan Posted February 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 What happens if Russia is removed? There is precedent for removing a country from SWIFT. SWIFT unplugged Iranian banks in 2012 after they were sanctioned by the European Union over the country's nuclear program. Iran lost almost half of its oil export revenue and 30% of foreign trade following the disconnection, according to Shagina. "SWIFT is a neutral global cooperative set up and operated for the collective benefit of its community," the organization said in a statement in January. "Any decision to impose sanctions on countries or individual entities rests solely with the competent government bodies and applicable legislators," it added. It's not clear how much support there is among US allies for taking similar action against Russia. The United States and Germany have the most to lose if Russia is disconnected, because their banks are the most frequent SWIFT users to communicate with Russian banks, according to Shagina. The European Central Bank has warned lenders with significant exposure to Russia to prepare for sanctions against Moscow, according to the Financial Times. ECB officials have also asked banks how they would respond to scenarios including a move to prevent Russian banks accessing SWIFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it's not widely accepted as SWIFT. Europe cannot afford to cut off Russia from SWIFT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan Posted February 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Russia has launched "more than 160 missiles," US senior defense official says From CNN's Ellie Kaufman Russia has launched “in total more than 160 missiles for airstrikes,” a senior US defense official told reporters Thursday. Most of the missiles are “short-range ballistic missiles,” but the total airstrikes include a “mix of medium-range as well as cruise missiles,” the official said. Right now, the official said the US is not seeing “a push deeper or further into the West.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
