The United States and Britain would seek to cut off Russian companies' access to U.S. dollars and British pounds if the Kremlin orders an invasion of Ukraine, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the BBC.

"The plan that we are seeing is for something that could be really the biggest war in Europe since 1945 just in terms of sheer scale," Johnson said.

Johnson said that sanctions on Russia in the event of an invasion would go much further than previously suggested in public. He said the United Kingdom and the United States would stop Russian companies "trading in pounds and dollars" - a move that he said would "hit very very hard" with its impact, the BBC reported.Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge; Editing by Kate Holton

Stop being silly, Boris!

Arrogant Boris Johnson speaks for the 'West' 🙄

Will be Wilko’s wallpaper in the future then

Sanctions now. Ukraine’s economy is already feeling impact of Putin’s aggression.

Boris Johnson could set a good example….his Conservative Party could stop taking Russian money…..and return the £££ Millions already received from Russian donors. Russians seem to have bought Johnson’s party

The only thing Putin and the oligarchs care about is money. Seize their accounts, their mansions, and their yachts in the West. Sanctions should not start at the bottom but at the top. No incrementalism. Kick them in the nuts, right off.

dollar is nearly over now

And what do you think Russia will do in return?

Good! That will backfire so hard

Forcing Russian companies to use Bitcoin and/or Chinese yuan?
