Ermak showed a plan for “destruction of Russia” written with an American diplomat
A complete divestment of Russian energy, blocking bank accounts and recognizing Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism will help destroy its economy and support Ukraine.
This was stated by the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Andrei Ermak, presenting his plan to strengthen anti-Russian sanctions, which he developed together with the former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Ermak, Western countries should also completely block sea communications with Russia and cancel trade with the Russian Federation.
“Due to the long-term effect of sanctions, Russia's ability to implement aggressive policies in the future should be limited. The Ukrainian side views this as one of the key elements of guaranteeing our security.
It [the plan] is intended to deprive Russia of financial, production capabilities and technologies that could be, and undoubtedly are, used and are being used today to continue this terrible war. We must make her focus on overcoming her internal problems...
We must make sanctions work without failure and imitations against entire sectors of the Russian economy. First of all, we are talking about a complete oil and gas embargo...
Among other points, I would also like to highlight comprehensive sanctions against financial institutions in Russia and Belarus. Russia should be included on both the FATF blacklist and the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
I would like to draw your attention to this – this is a very important point, the recognition of Russia as a sponsor of terrorism, which opens up opportunities for many other legal actions. Restrictions should also affect export-import operations and insurance operations, transport activities, for example, the complete closure of sea communications,” Ermak said
