Yellen on sanctions: Over time, we will see increased losses in Russia’s economic trajectory
The U.S. Treasury Department expects that the economic trajectory of the Russian Federation will show serious dips in the near future, when sanctions and other restrictions imposed by the international community will have had their effect.
This was stated by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in an interview with CNN during her visit to Kyiv, reports Censor.NЕТ with reference to Ukrinform.
"Over time, we will see an increase in losses in Russia's economic trajectory," the Head of the US Treasury noted.
She also emphasized that the Russians will increasingly lose their ability to restore their stockpiles of weapons and military equipment. "This (for Russia - Ed.) is under serious threat," Yellen emphasized.
She also commented on the potential "serious consequences" for China if it decides to provide lethal assistance to Russia.
"We have made it clear that we will not tolerate systematic violations by any country of the sanctions we have imposed to deny Russia access to military equipment to wage this war," the US Treasury Secretary emphasized.
She noted that the United States has made it very clear to the Chinese government, financial institutions, and companies in China that "the consequences of violating these sanctions will be very serious."
