The diplomat believes that Western countries should clarify their statements on the introduction of restrictive measures against Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine.

Kuleba recalled that Kiev officials are calling for the approval of sanctions, implying disconnecting Russia from SWIFT, restrictions on operations with Russian sovereign debt, and restrictions on the assets of representatives of the inner circle of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

“I know from my informal conversations that they are discussing disconnecting Russia from SWIFT as a last resort.

It will be grandiose, "RIA Novosti quotes the Ukrainian minister.

Earlier, the head of the European Council Charles Michel said that during the summit in Brussels, EU leaders unanimously agreed on the extension of economic sanctions against Russia.

Also, the European Union said that they would respond with sanctions "in coordination with partners" on any military invasion of Ukraine.

In turn, the press secretary of the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov noted that Russia would mirror the extension of countermeasures against the European Union.
