“In coordination with 🇺🇸🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇨🇦🇬🇧 I will now propose new measures to EU leaders to strengthen our response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and cripple Putin’s ability to finance his war machine.
First, we commit to ensuring that a certain number of Russian banks are removed from SWIFT. It will stop them from operating worldwide and effectively block Russian exports and imports.
Second, we will paralyse the assets of Russia’s central bank.
This will freeze its transactions.
And it will make it impossible for the Central Bank to liquidate its assets.”

President of the EU Commission

"Strategic Deterrence measures are taken continuously by one party, in peaceful and in military times, and not only to prevent acts of force inflicting or able to inflict strategic-level damage on one party, but also for restraining another party within certain boundaries, as well as for deescalating a military conflict.” —Russian Military Encyclopedia
“Deescalation of aggression [means] forcing the enemy to halt military action by a threat to deliver or by actual delivery of strikes of varying intensity with reliance on conventional and (or) nuclear weapons.” 1 —The Priority Tasks of the Development of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (2003)

What would the most likely response by Putin be if the EU were to escalate economically and “paralyze the assets of the Russia’s central bank”? QUOTE
“It posted an edited photo of a standard road sign in which directions to nearby cities have been replaced with profanities that could be translated as ‘Go fuck yourself’, ‘Go fuck yourself again’ and ‘Go fuck yourself back in Russia’.”

Hey everyone, just finished uploading another update; today (and last night) we've seen Russian forces continue their advance, albeit even more slowly than the day prior. Russian airborne operations have resulted in devastating losses as Ukrainian forces have been able to concentrate their defenses quite effectively around prospective landing grounds. The following days will likely see the conflict within the Kiev city center increase substantially as Ukrainian forces concentrate on the urban terrain, leveraging Ukrainian civilians as assets in the fight. Artillery bombardments are likely to experience a substantial increase as well, as Russian forces begin to increase the ferocity of their attacks due to taking increasing losses. https://youtu.be/fVhwakm121c

Ukrainian aircraft at Ivano Frankivsk airport. A single missile damaged six MiG-29s? That's terrible planning to group that many jets together.

WHITE HOUSE ASKS CONGRESS FOR $6.4 BILLION FOR UKRAINE CRISIS
$2.9 billion will go towards security and humanitarian assistance not just for Ukraine, but also to the Baltics, Poland, and other regional countries.
The remaining $3.5 billion will go to the Pentagon “to respond to the crisis.” The total amount could change — some members of Congress think more money needs to be spent. Sen. Chris Coon (D-DE) said the US might need to spend around $10 billion. Clearly pulling that number out of his ass.
Over the past year, the US has given Ukraine over $650 million in military aid and $52 million in humanitarian assistance. The Pentagon said Friday it wants to send even more weapons to Ukraine and is working out ways to do so...just as Russia closes in. [ Article ]

Here's why sanctioning the Central Bank of Russia could prove devastating - the true "nuclear" option in the West's financial arsenal. Russia currently holds about $640 billion in reserves. About 32% held in euros, 22% in gold, 16% in dollars, and 13% in Yuan.
This chart shows Russia's inflation-adjusted total reserves (monetary gold, IMF reserves, and forex reserves held by central bank). $300B in reserves are held abroad. Freezing those will prevent the Bank of Russia from using them for things like currency interventions or transfers.
“Sanctioning Russia’s central bank is likely to have a dramatic effect on the Russian economy and its banking system, similar to what we saw in 1991,” said Elina Ribakova, deputy chief economist for the Institute of International Finance. "This would likely lead to massive bank runs and dollarization, with a sharp sell-off, drain on reserves and, possibly, a full-on collapse of Russia’s financial system."
