German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said that the FRG authorities can use threats of sanctions against Russia against the background of the situation with Ukraine. Reported by Bild.

“We must use every opportunity to stop the escalation. This includes the threat of tough sanctions. Those responsible for the aggression must feel the personal consequences. For example, the fact that they will not be able to go shopping on the Champs Elysees in Paris, ”said Lambrecht.

She stressed that Germany should try all the possibilities of diplomacy and economic sanctions in this situation. All further steps, in her opinion, should be discussed in close coordination in NATO.

Earlier it became known that US President Joe Biden gave his administration a "window of four weeks" to prevent Russia's allegedly planned invasion of Ukraine.

According to a CNN source, Washington's sanctions against possible hostilities are "overwhelming and immediate" and could cause significant costs to the Russian economy and its financial system as a whole.
