U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. File photoWASHINGTON, Jun 10 US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has proposed a coalition of countries to impose sanctions on Russia over a special military operation in Ukraine.
"In my opinion, we need a fairly large group of countries that would agree to impose sanctions against Russia. The creation of such a coalition is necessary in order to make sanctions more effective on a global scale", she said during a discussion organized at the site of the New York Times newspaper.
Western countries imposed new sanctions against Moscow after the start of a special operation of the Russian army to demilitarize and denazification of Ukraine. The administration of US President Joe Biden is trying to expand the circle of countries that support sanctions. President Vladimir Putin has said that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy for the West, and sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. The head of state emphasized that the current events draw a line under the global dominance of the West both in politics and in the economy. According to him, Russia is not going to isolate itself and it cannot be strictly isolated in the modern world. on the eve of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the new EU sanctions will affect the Russian economy, but the country has learned to adapt to such situations and find a way out.
