iLMu2lautan – Kesan gabungan yang dihasilkan oleh sekatan Barat dan harga
minyak yang rendah membuktikan bahawa tidak ada tempat untuk Rusia dalam sistem
kewangan antarabangsa, Perdana Menteri Britain, David Cameron, percaya mendesak
untuk lebih banyak tekanan pada Moscow.
"Kita harus berdiri sangat tegas terhadap pencerobohan
Rusia yang yang berlaku," kata Cameron sebelum Parlimen pada hari Rabu.
PM mengingatkan bahawa UK, yg "memimpin jalan di
Eropah dlm memastikan terdapat sekatan" yang dikenakan terhadap Rusia
lebih 'pengilhakan' di Crimea pada bulan Mac dan mendakwa penglibatan Moscow
dalam krisis Ukraine.
"Dan apa kombinasi harga minyak yg lebih rendah dan
sekatan menunjukkan yg saya fikir ia tidak mungkin bagi Rusia untuk menjadi
sebahagian daripada sistem kewangan antarabangsa, tetapi cuba & memilih untuk
keluar daripada peraturan berasaskan sistem undang-undang antarabangsa,"
Cameron berkata.
"Kami akan meneruskan tekanan," ketua kerajaan
British menambah, bersetuju bahawa "dalam hal ini kepentingan United
Kingdom dan demokrasi yang pergi bersama-sama."
RUSSIAN Not FIT to be PART Of INTERNATIONAL
Financial System -
CAMERON . . .
The combined effect produced by Western sanctions and low oil
prices proves that there’s no place for Russia in the international financial
system, believes British prime minister David Cameron, urging for more pressure
on Moscow.
“We should stand up very firmly against the Russian
aggression that’s taking place,” Cameron said before the Parliament on
Wednesday.
The PM reminded that it’s the UK, which “led the way in
Europe in making sure there were sanctions” imposed against Russia over its
'annexation' of Crimea in March and Moscow’s alleged involvement in the
Ukrainian crisis.
“And what the combination of the lower oil price and the
sanctions are showing that I think it isn’t possible for Russia to be part of
the international financial system, but try and opt out of the rules-based
international legal system,” Cameron said.
EU dijangka mengumumkan pusingan baru sekatan terhadap Rusia
pada hari Khamis, semasa mesyuarat Majlis Eropah di Brussels. Menurut Reuters,
langkah-langkah yang ketat haramkan firma EU melabur dalam Crimea & melarang
per-dagan-gan teknologi cari gali minyak dan gas Eropah dari EU untuk rantau ini.

Sementara itu Presiden Amerika Syarikat Barack Obama telah
menandatangani satu undang2 yang memberi kuasa kpd sekatan baru ke
atas Moscow, menyasar-kan senjata syarikat2 & pelabur dlm
projek2 Rusia minyak berteknologi tinggi.
Sekatan, bagaimanapun, tidak
akan berkesan dengan serta-merta sejak Obama telah teragak-agak untuk
memperkenalkan apa2 sekatan baru tanpa "penyege-rakan" terlebih
dahulu dengan rakan-rakan Eropah.
The EU is expected to announce a new round of sanctions
against Russia on Thursday, during the European Council’s meeting in Brussels.
According to Reuters, the restrictive measures will forbid EU firms from
investing in the Crimea and prohibit the trade of European oil and gas
exploration technologies from the EU to the region.
Meanwhile US President Barack Obama has already signed a
legislation authorizing new sanctions on Moscow, targeting weapons companies
and investors in Russian high-tech oil projects. The sanctions, however, will
not be effective immediately since Obama has been hesitant to introduce any new
restriction without prior “synchroni-zation” with European partners.
