According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the European Parliament recently passed a resolution. The content of the resolution is that once it is determined that Russia has invaded Ukrainian , it will directly exclude Russia from the SWIFT international payment system. The resolution received 569 votes in favor and 67 against.
This will directly affect Russia's exports of natural gas and other energy sources to European countries, and Russia may suffer heavy losses. However, the resolution has not yet officially entered into force. Giving this resolution some wiggle room.
Europe intensifies its suppression of Russia
After Biden officially took office, the United States and Europe are increasingly suppressing Russia, and now the European Union is looking for opportunities to start with Russia-EU natural gas trade. At present, the northern hemisphere has ushered in summer, and summer is also the season with the least use of Russian natural gas in Europe.
and now Ukraine, under the instigation of many countries such as the United States, deliberately has a head-on conflict with Russia, and Russia is facing multi-party containment. In this case, the EU wants to use this to lower the price of natural gas exported by Russia to the EU, so as to gain more benefits for EU countries. The decision of the European Parliament has been supported by many countries.
The situation in Russia is critical
The current US President Joe Biden has a tougher attitude towards Russia than the former US PresidentTrump. Biden is trying to win over allies and jointly suppress Russia. In recent years, under the sanctions of many countries such as the United States, Russia's economic development is not optimistic. Last year was suppressed by the new crown pneumonia epidemic again. Russia's economic strength is not as good as before, and it is difficult to resist the impact of the United States and other countries.
If Europe continues to increase its pressure on Russia, it is very likely that Russia will not be able to last. However, some American media believe that now Russia still has the help of and Chinese , and China may become Russia's hard backing.
China and Russia cooperation between the two countries close
Russia is a big energy country, and China is a big developing country with a large demand for energy, and the cooperation between the two countries will naturally hit it off. Although Western countries have been increasing their efforts to exploit and against Russia, Russia is also actively cooperating with China. In addition, China and Russia are neighbors to each other and have close relations with each other, and the two countries have a basis for friendly cooperation. In cooperation, China and Russia also use the currencies of the two countries for settlement , actively bypassing the US dollar settlement system.
This will help ensure the stability of cooperation between China and Russia without interference from other countries, and China can also obtain better quality oil. This is a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. China's knowledge will also become the capital for Russia to compete with the United States. In the future, China and Russia will continue to cooperate to deal with the threat of the United States.
