Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council and asked the international community to freeze the assets of Russia as Moscow launches a full-scale military invasion of south-east Ukraine using regular Russian army forces.
“asking that all Russian assets be frozen until Russian troops are pulled back.”
Good luck with that. No, really...
Europe already wants this thing over, the Russian counter-sanctions are now inflicting real pain on economies already sliding into another recession, and at least two have said they won’t participate in any more sanctions against Russia. (Finland, Slovakia)
Russia’s rumored next round of counter-sanctions could cost
Germany 55,000 jobs by banning car imports from “Sanctioning nations”.
And we aren’t even up to the level of lowered gas exports, yet.
Ukraine has cried wolf about a “Russian Invasion!” so many times now that the Euros have tired of it.
