New York (CNN Business)Sanctions leveled on Russia have pushed the country toward becoming a closed economy, a status the country is ill-equipped to handle, a senior Treasury official said on Friday.
"The economic consequences Russia is facing are severe: high inflation that will only get higher, and deep recession that will only get deeper," the official told reporters during a conference call.
Among other steps, Western powers have frozen about half of Russia's foreign reserves, banned certain Russian banks from the high security SWIFT banking network and blocked exports of key technology to Russia. The United States has also prohibited the import of Russian oil, natural gas and petroleum products.
"Russia has been backed into a corner to becoming
a closed economy, and Russia is in fact one of the most
ill equipped countries to do well as a closed economy,"
the senior Treasury official said.
The official predicted Russia will have a lot of trouble
being isolated on the world stage because it has long
relied on the sale of raw materials to buy consumer
goods and sophisticated equipment for production.
All this will not end well for Russia.

Ruble's artificial recovery
masks Russian economic devastation
Russia's economy is getting devastated by Western sanctions -
led by US President Biden - and the ruble's swift recovery has
only been made possible by Moscow's efforts to prop the currency
up artificially, the senior Treasury official said.
The senior Treasury official said Russia's economy is plunging
into recession and getting crushed by crippling inflation.

Although the ruble has bounced back to pre-invasion levels,
the Treasury official argued the currency's purchasing power
has been decimated by skyrocketing prices in Russia.

Moscow, which claims images of executed civilians in Bucha were fake products of Ukrainian and Western propaganda aimed at discrediting Russia, said it would retaliate for the expulsion, RIA Novosti reported.

Biden provides more help to Ukraine
The Pentagon will send a second batch of arms to Ukraine
as the country enters its second month under Russian invasion.
The U.S. will send a variety of equipment to aid in Ukrainian
defense, including 10 Switchblade drones, which are armed
with tank-busting warheads, according to multiple reports.
The equipment is part of the $300 million in lethal military
assistance announced by the Pentagon last Friday, which
also includes tactical secure communications systems,
nonstandard machine guns and other defense systems.

New York (CNN Business) Russia is in imminent danger of default

Western countries sanctioned about half of Russia's foreign reserves
— roughly $315 billion — because of its invasion of Ukraine.
Although the US Treasury had been allowing Russia to use some of
its frozen assets to pay back certain investors in dollars, the Biden
admin this week blocked the country from accessing its stockpiles.
That could force Russia to offer pay its debts in rubles — or not at all.
Either action would constitute a default, Fitch Ratings said last month.
In addition to the Treasury's decision to cut off Russia's access to dollars,
the Biden administration on Wednesday announced new sanctions on
Russian financial institutions and individuals.

Gee, lets all party like it is world war 3...man, you warmongers are some sick puppies...shows one thing though...it shows how effective propaganda is in shaping minds.
Last time I checked, Russia and China had nuclear weaponry capable of destroying our country. I am wondering what exactly is in those 'supposed' covid vaccines? What detrimental effects that they have on the functioning of the human brain?

Russian energy giant Gazprom said on Friday it was exiting its business in Germany, amid a dispute between the two countries over Putin's insistence on switching payments for Russian gas to rubles only.
It was not immediately clear how the move would affect the supply of Russian gas, on which Germany currently uses for about 40% of its needs.

Of course Germany is taking a big risk, but circumstances here are forcing their hand in a hurry.
All Ukraine-supportive nations that currently draw energy from Russia are seriously looking at immediate and longterm methods of reducing their reliance on Russian sources.

Congress Makes Russia a Pariah
on Trade, Adds Pressure on Putin
(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Congress voted overwhelmingly
to strip Russia’s normal trade status with the U.S. and ban
imports of its gas, oil and coal, adding to the economic
squeeze by the U.S. and its allies to punish Russian President
Vladimir Putin’s government over the invasion of Ukraine.
