Thus, the US administration does not want to give Moscow a chance to prepare, said Ned Price, head of the press service of the US State Department
“We have been asked why we do not give more specifics on sanctions, which we are preparing and have prepared with our allies and partners”, – said Price.
The press chief noted that it was not in their interest to communicate their actions in advance.
“This will give the Russian Federation an opportunity to take steps that will allow it to reduce the impact of sanctions. Part of the deterrent effect that these sanctions have is that we have made it clear that they will be unprecedented in terms of their scale and the potential damage to the Russian Federation”, – Price summarised
