US Flag WASHINGTON, Jan 25 The increased volatility that Russian financial markets have experienced in recent days — «nothing» compared to the consequences that the escalation around Ukraine will turn out for its economy, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said at a briefing. Western countries threaten Russia with unprecedented sanctions in the event of the implementation of aggressive plans attributed to it against a neighboring country. What we are seeing now is nothing compared to what will befall the Russian Federation, the Russian economy, if the Russian invasion is given a go,” Price said at a briefing. Russia has repeatedly denied accusations by the West and Ukraine of “aggressive actions,” stating that he does not threaten anyone and is not going to attack anyone, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. At the same time, Kiev and Western states have recently expressed concern about the alleged increase in «aggressive actions» sides of Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. According to him, this does not threaten anyone and should not bother anyone.
