Financial War: US\u00a0wants to trigger wave of\u00a0Russian bankruptcies<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The US government insists on a tightening of sanctions against\u00a0Russia, and demands that the EU follow suit.\u00a0Washington now wants\u00a0sanctions that will have a \u201cdevastating\u201d effect, which Russia must\u00a0\u201csuffer.\u201d\u00a0Financial measures are planned to trigger a\u00a0wave of bankruptcies in Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond over the weekend had a visit by\u00a0US Secretary of State John Kerry, concerning the US plan.\u00a0Washington expects the EU to cooperate to force the Russian economy\u00a0to its knees.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US will drastically tighten sanctions against Russia:\u00a0US Secretary of State\u00a0John Kerry said this weekend in London that Russia was \u201cguilty of gravely violating the Minsk truce.\u201d\u00a0Kerry said Russia had the city Debalzewo attacked, and\u00a0supported paramilitary warriors in the region, and contracted new troops near Mariupol.\u00a0Kerry said: \u201cThis is a violation of the ceasefire.\u00a0We are serious: there will be more\u00a0actions that cause additional pain in\u00a0the Russian economy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He went on: \u201cThere is a serious discussion between us and our European allies, as to what\u00a0sanctions we will bring next and when they are due to come into force.\u00a0I\u00a0am confident that there will be additional measures in response to Russia\u2019s violations\u00a0of the ceasefire.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond fully backed the remarks by Kerry.\u00a0A few months ago American Vice President Joe Biden explained how the US\u00a0created the EU\u2019s role in the strategy directed against Russia.\u00a0The collaboration now\u00a0appears to function somewhat smoother than it did at first.<\/span><\/p>\n
