Russia does not rule out breaking diplomatic relations with the United States. It would happen if the money frozen in Moscow was used to financially help invaded Ukraine. "Diplomatic relations in themselves, of course, are not some kind of totem that should be worshiped," Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said of an eventual severing of ties. He argued that the “trigger” of such a measure would be the “confiscation of assets,” or “further military escalation .” “I'm just saying to make it clear that we are prepared for any scenario. "The United States should not be under the illusion that Russia is clinging with both hands to diplomatic relations with that country," which "is in a coma," Riabkov said in an interview for the Interfax news agency.

It is about “further strengthening control over the Russian war machine.” and about those who make it work,” commented US national security advisor Jake Sullivan in a statement. "We are sending an unmistakable message: anyone who supports Russia's illegal war effort risks losing access to the American financial system," he added. “Our sanctions and restrictions have had significant impacts on Russia's ability to replace the equipment, materials and technology it needs to fuel its aggression (against Ukraine). "They have weakened the Russian resistance," Sullivan said. The European Union, for its part, together with Washington, is finalizing an urgent project to continue financing Ukraine with part of the 300 billion dollars frozen in foreign accounts of the Central Bank of Russia.
