The United States of America prolonged the sanctions against Russia for a year. In such geopolitical situation the political analysts consider this step by Washington to be a means to restrain the Russian authorities. “Russia is a country, which has a nuclear weapon, and consequently the direct military conflict between the USA and Russia is excluded even theoretically, consequently those measures must be used, which were once used against the Soviet Union,” notes political analyst Sergey Minasyan. The sanctions are aimed at forcing Russia to make some concessions in the issue of Ukrainian crisis. But Moscow won’t take these sanctions silently. The political analysts think that Russia, having no other leverages, will have to apply to tougher measures. Regarding this, political analyst Stepan Grigoryan says: “It is clear that in the financial-economic leverages Russia can give no response. But, yes, there is an army, there is a nuclear weapon, that is the whole military potential and maybe Russia will try to increase the pressure on Ukraine.” Of course, again the sanctions will have negative impact on the financial-economic system of Russia. What happened in December will be repeated- exchange rate fluctuations, fall in the volumes of exportation and importation, crisis of the financial system. More in the video
